The Church of St. Lawrence is situated in Zadar and was possibly built in the 10th or 11th century. It underwent some renovations at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century. The Church was again refurbished in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
The Church is longitudinal in shape and has four pillars, so it seems that it has three naves. But the side naves are so narrow that they can hardly be passed through, and each nave is vaulted with calottes (on trumpets). Therefore, most researchers consider this to be a single nave Church with a dome.
Church was fresco decorated, but none of it is preserved. Rich sculptural decoration is mostly in Zadar Archaeological Museum.
