Description
The Church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian is situated in Zablaće, near Blato, on the Island of Korčula.
Its a single nave edifice dated in the 12th century. It underwent several restorations such as changing the vault in the gothic manner, in the 13th century, after the original collapsed for unknown reasons. The restorations greatly altered the exterior of the church, while the plan of the church remained unchanged.
On the facades are narrow, high niches on its lateral walls, and a shallow porch in front of its western entrance, with a visible tendency towards verticality.
