Description
The Church of St. Vitus in Zadar was erected in the 10th or the 11th century, while the city was under the supreme rule of the Byzantine Empire. It was demolished in 1877, but the descriptions of the exterior of the building, made by the Zadar painter Ivan Smirić, have been preserved.
It was an edifice in the form of a free cross with a dome, very similar to the Church of the Holy Cross in Nino.
