Description

The Church of St. Martin is located on the northern slope of the hill Humac and today lies in ruins. Most researchers agree that it was probably built in the beginning of the 12th century, even though earlier date is also possible.
Its a single nave building divided with two lesenes into three bays. It has a semicircular apse on the inside and a rectangular on the outside.
Today only Southern wall remains. Restoration works on the church, with a minor archaeological intervention, were undertaken in 1964 - 1965 by the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments from Dubrovnik.
