Description

The ruined Church of Sveti Petar in Ston was first built in late antiquity, probably in the 6th century (remains are still visible on the Southern part of the Church). It was later renewed and by the end of 10th century, on the Northern part of the Church, a sanctuary was added with three aisles and dome over its central part (an adaptation made after the mass Christianization).
