Description

Island of Majsan is situated 3km East of Island of Korčula.
An Early Christian memoria was first built in the 4th century, and it was restaurated (its decoration) in the 6th century. In the 8th or the 9th century it was transformed into a pre-Romanesque building.
It was probably a single nave edifice with a dome. Stone furnishing fragments were found as well as some fresco decoration fragments.
