Description
The Church of St. George is situated on the Island of Brač, in Nerežišće. Some researchers believe it was built in the 6th or the 7th century, while others date it in the 13th to 14th century. Yet most believe it was built in the 11th century.
This Church is a single nave edifice with semicircular apse. At the door of the church is a hollow lunette that is the only source of light. The interior is vaulted with two transverse bands. Niches are arranged on all walls. Lesenes are on the façade.
In the Church is one of the finest examples of Renaissance reliefs depicting St. George killing a dragon, artwork of probably Bračanin Lozanić in the 15th century.
