Description

The Church of St. Nicholas in Baljevac was probably built at the end of the 12th and the beginning of the 13th century (Enc III 72). It is a single nave edifice with a wide altar apse and three bays separated by pilasters, built of large hewn stone, while the window frames are carved from white, most likely Radočel marble. The monumental fresco painting, preserved only fragmentarily and in the lower zones, shows the stylistic features of the painting of the mid-14th century. Protection works were executed in 1935 and 1936, when the church was covered with a structure supported by nine columns, about half a meter away from the walls of the edifice. The conservation of the frescoes was carried out in 1969.
