Description
The Church of Sveta Nediljica (former dedication was to St. John the Baptist) is situated in Zadar and was built in the second half of the 11th century. The church was destroyed in the year 1891.
It was a three nave edifice and had a tri partite apse (the middle one was rectangular while the other two, on both sides, were semicircular on the inside. All were rectangular on the outside). Next to the church, on the South side, there is a square bell tower with lesenes and had a door which connected it to the Church. On the North side of the Church a sacristy was added, which also had a door which connected it to the Church. A crypt was beneath the Church.
Researchers believe that this Church was built on the remains of the previous one, probably from Early Christian period.
