The purpose of this paper is to give an evaluation of subjective and objective acoustic parameters in two architecturally different churches in Zagreb, Croatia. These churches have completely different architectural parameters due to different style, shape and volume. The influence of high vaulted ceiling in one church is compared to the lower flat ceiling of the other. The influence of large high ceiling lateral aisles and the lateral galleries to both binaural and monaural parameters is examined. Subjective parameters such as Intimacy, Clarity, Reverberation, Spatial and Overall impression are compared to measured objective parameters. The comparison of obtained values, both subjective and objective, is done in order to get the degree of the correlation between them.
