TheChurch of St Peter and St Paul (Croatian:Crkva svetog Petra i Pavla), commonly referred to as theOsijek Co-cathedral (Croatian:Osječka konkatedrala), is aneo-Gothicco-cathedral of theRoman Catholic Archdiocese of Đakovo-Osijek, located inOsijek,Croatia. The multi-tiered 94-metre spire is one of the city's landmarks. The church was built in 1898 on the initiative of theBishop of ĐakovoJosip Juraj Strossmayer.[2]

The church is entered via two small doors to the side of the main portal, overlooked by a trio ofgargoyles. The interior is a treasure trove of neo-Gothic ornamentation, with a succession of pinnacled altars overlooked by exuberantstained glass windows. The interior was finished off in 1938–1942 when leading Croatian painterMirko Rački covered the walls and ceilings with brightly colouredfrescoes illustrating famous episodes from theOld andNew Testaments.
