Description

The remains of the Church of St. Barbara are located above the eastern ridge of Gornje Čelo, south of the road leading from Dinkovo Selo to Rajić's house, in an area called Borje. V. Lisičar was the first to mention the Church indicating that its other dedication was Gospa Nuncijata or Gospa Navještenja (Church of the Annunciation). Unfortunately, the results of the research, conducted in 1975, have not been published yet so we don't have enough information regarding this Church.
The Church is a single nave edifice with a dome, with an apse which is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside. It was probably build sometime between 9th and 11th century.
