Baroque towers and bastions were incorporated into the old walls of Dalmatian cities, like the ones in Pula, Šibenik or Hvar. The biggest Baroque undertaking in Dalmatia happened in Dubrovnik in the 17th Century after the catastrophic earthquake of 1667 when almost the entire city was destroyed. In Baroque style were rebuilt "Church of St Vlaho" on the main square in 1715, the Catholic "Main Cathedral", as well as the "Jesuit college" and its accompanying "church of St Ignatius". Paolo Passalaqua united several of those baroque masterpieces with his "Jesuit Stairway". The wide stone stairway was built with a series of convexities, concavities and a strong balustrade (reminiscent of famous "Spain Stairway Square" in Rome) thereby connecting two parts of the city, using Baroque style, which were the Jesuit church above and the "Ivan Gundulić Square" below. During the Baroque numerous Catholic churches crowned most towns in cities due to their large size and opulence. The Roman Catholic monastery churches often had an enclosing wall with inner porches lavishly decorated, like in the "Franciscan monastery" in Slavonski Brod where the columns are thick showing baroque abundance. The most beautiful one is probably the Roman Catholic "church in Selima" near Sisak. It has an oval shape with an elliptic dome and concave and convex front with two towers. In a very luxuriant Roman Catholic church, "Maria of the Snow" in "Belec" from 1740 the entire interior is filled with lively gilded wooden sculptures, frescoes by painter Ivan Ranger from the Roman Catholic Habsburg Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ranger was a classic Rococo painter whose characters were softly painted in graceful positions with optimism and cheerful colors. He also lavishly painted the Roman Catholic Gothic church in Lepoglava, and the ceiling of the Banqueting Hall of "Bistra Palace" which is one of most beautiful elliptic plans in profane architecture.
