Restoration and Consolidation of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rijeka During the 19th and Early 20th Centuries

Abstract

Based on the study of the design of the bell tower and the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the State Archives in Rijeka, the paper provides new insights into the chronology of interventions on these buildings during the 19th and early 20th century, especially those on the front of the church and bell tower. The aim is to date and attribute projects, and interpret interventions in their context. Systematic data on the architectural history of the church in this period is presented, and at the same time the attribution proposals and connections with other projects potentially complement the previously known oeuvres of several Rijeka architects.
