St Nicholas Cathedral

When one travels to Europe, one will never miss the cathedral which is mainly the center of attraction. In Ljubljana, the cathedral is rather small as compared to the others..

    This cathedral may be small but it looks very beautiful to me! We don't even have one that looks so elaborate and nice.

    maybe Slovenia is just a small country, of course we cannot expect big cathedrals like those in western europe..
