Abstract
The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part the emphasis is placed on the possible layout of the cathedral in various phases of its construction and extension, beginning with the parish church in the 12th century to today’s layout of the cathedral, which it gained in the first part of the 18th century, although in fact the various phases could only be observed after it was heavily damaged in World War II. In this part some thoughts are expressed which – if they appear
founded - in many ways will change the current thinking about the history of the cathedral. In the second part the interventions made to the cathedral after World War II are described, when there were some changes to the layout to the cathedral, but it was a change of a different kind so it could be said that it continued in its dynamic development. This part is especially useful because it is possible on the basis of what was done to observe how the moves made in
accordance with the past structure and how much would be needed to correct some wrong steps and to add what its importance and artistic forms require.
