The Basilica of the Mother of Mercy in Maribor is one of seven basilicas in Slovenia. The present church, with a monastery, was built between 1892 and 1900, and is located on the site of a former Capuchin church, built in the 17th century.
The cathedral of Maribor was probably founded in the 12th century. The cathedral, of Romanesque origin, was rebuilt in Gothic and Baroque style (the Baroque bell tower was built between 1623 and 1624). The church is built of rough stone and squares of grey and yellowish Slovenian sandstone.
The Synagogue in Maribor was built in the late 13th century as part of a complex including a Jewish cemetery, rabbinical residence, and Talmudic school. In 1501 the synagogue was turned into a Catholic church, the Church of All Saints. Following renovations, the building reopened in 2001 as a museum and cultural-exhibition dedication to the Jewish community of Maribor and Slovenia.
The Church of St. Aloysius in Maribor is a baroque church built between 1767 and 1770 by the Jesuit order. The church has the peculiarity of not having a bell tower.
