ZAGREB, June 26 (Hina) - The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the northern Adriatic island of Rab has received the highest European recognition for the preservation of the cultural heritage Europea Nostra, the Croatian Culture Ministry said in a statement on Monday.

This 13th century Romanesque triple nave basilica was built on the site of an early Christian oratory and had undergone several architectural transformations over time. An improper restoration in the 1960s had led to the cathedral falling into an extreme state of disrepair that threatened the continuance of its liturgical function.

Multidisciplinary restoration works were carried out from 1999 to 2005. The reconstruction project was made by the Croatian Culture Ministry.

The Awards will be presented at the annual European Heritage Awards Ceremony at the Palacio Real de El Pardo in Madrid on Tuesday. This prestigious event - with the participation of Europa Nostra"s President, HRH the Prince Consort of Denmark and Ján Figel", Member of the European Commission responsible for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism - will be presided over by Queen Sofía of Spain, who is Patron of Hispania Nostra, Europa Nostra"s country representation in Spain.
