Popis: Zagrebačka katedrala, nakon Velikog potresa 1880. godine, obnovljena je početkom 20. stoljeća kamenom iz okolice Zagreba. Korišten je litotamnijski vapnenac iz kamenoloma podno Medvednice, potoka Vrapče i Podsuseda (litavac). Nije se pokazao pogodan za vanjske dijelove kamene plastike koji su vrlo brzo propadali pod djelovanjem kiselih kiša. Prva sljedeća obnova uslijedila je već 1930./1931. kada je zamijenjen dio kamenih klesanaca. U obnovi 1967./1968. korišten je kamen tipa bizek, a u ovoj zadnjoj, započetoj 1987., koja još traje, litavac i bizek zamijenjeni su travertinom iz Tivolija. U obnovi sudjeluju klesarske radionice iz Pučišća. U radu se donosi bogat ilustrativni materijal vezan uz obnovu kamenih dijelova.
After the Great Earthquake in 1880, the Zagreb cathedral was reconstructed in the early 20th century using the stone from the surrounding area of Zagreb. Lithotamnium limestone from the quarry at the foot of Medvednica, Vrapče potok and Podsused (Litavac) was used in construction. It proved to be unsuitable for the outer parts of stone sculptures that started deteriorating quickly due to acid rains. The first subsequent reconstruction took place as early as in 1930 until 1931 when a part of ashlar stones was replaced. In the reconstruction of 1967 - 1968 Bizek stone was used, and in the most recent one which started in 1987, and is still ongoing, lithotamnium limestone and Bizek were replaced by the tufa stone from Tivoli. Stonework workshops from Pučišća (island of Brač) have participated in the reconstruction. This paper provides a rich illustrative material regarding the reconstruction of stone parts.
