The Stomorica Church in the city of Zadar was most probably built in the 11th century. Goss argues for this date based on architectural grounds, i.e. the combination of the church and a bell tower. In Croatian coastal cities bell towers are not to be found before the 11th century. The church came out of use before the year 1560, when it was demolished. It is not shown in the model of Zadar of the same year, which is kept in the Museo Storico Navale in Venice. The Stomorica Church was discovered in the year 1880 and excavated between 1956 and 1967.
Its a six leaf Church (or as some researchers indicate - a circular ground plan with five semicircular apses) with a dome, an atrium and a bell tower on its Western side. Remains of fresco paintings were found.
