Abstract
Based on archival sources, the author examines the alterations made to the interior of Zagreb Cathedral between 1799 and 1801, which included the removal of the central section of the choir screen and the relocation of the Altar of the Holy Cross. The works, initiated by Bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac, were supervised by Canon Emerik Karlo Raffay and carried out by architect Andrea Menini and his associates. The reconstruction of the lost elements reveals early forms of Neo-Gothic expression.
