Description
The Church of St. Nicholas is situated in Povljane, on the South of the Island of Pag. It was probably built in the 5th or the 6th century, and later, in the 11th century, was renewed.
Its a single nave, vaulted, edifice with a semicircular apse on the East side of the Church. On the West side of the Church is a bell. Some fragments of fresco decoration can still be seen on the walls of the interior.
According to the found pieces of stone furniture it seems that the Church was originally covered with a wooden roof structure which was, in the 11th century, replaced by a barrel vault, adding also pylons and girders to the side walls.
The Church was completely renewed in the 20th century.
