Description
The Church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian (today's Church of St. Bartola) is situated within the complex of the Bishops Palace (Palace Sarkočević) in Dubrovnik. It was probably built in the 10th or the beginning of the 11th century. According to an inscription from 1749 at the side entrance of the building near the Church we are familiar with the former dedication of the Church. In the 11th century the Church was given to the Benedictines and was demolished in the 13th century.
The Church was a single nave vaulted building similar to the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Mljet and St. Philip and Jacob in Pelješac. On the west facade of today's church of St. Bartola remained a fully preserved decorated portal that originally belonged to the Church of St. Cosmas and Damian.
At the end of the 18th century, the Sorkočević Palace was built next to the Church of St. Bartola.
