Juraj Dalmatinac

The Cathedral of St James is a testimony of the transition from the Gothic to the Renaissance period in church architecture. It is an outstanding example in which Gothic and Renaissance forms have been successfully blended. A great master of Gothic expression open to the Renaissance principles of form, Juraj Dalmatinac, was the founder of the combined Gothic-Renaissance style in Dalmatia. It was Juraj Dalmatinac, who brought significant changes to the original project and a new spirit to the cathedral construction.
