Description
The Church beneath the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity (Sveta Trojica) in Biskupija was most probably built before 1088 and is only mentioned in a letter of Rev. Vinjalić in the year 1746. The letter states: "[...] piu al insu verso ostro vi e la villa detta Bikupija, lontana circa tre migla a dritta linea dalla fortezza perche si va cercar li ponti ve ne sonne piu di sette; qui sono tre ruine delle fabriche; la piu vicina e la piu intatta, questa e una rotonda ottongolare, per che sia stata chiesa all'antica [...]".
Based on written accounts from the 18th century, the pre-Romanesque Church had an eight-leaf ground plan (similar to the Church in Ošlje).
