The Church of St. Stošija is situated in Puntamika, in Zadar. It was probably built in the 9th century and was excavated in 1952..
Its a single nave edifice, built with the adaptation of the former ancient cistern, which, as we know, is not an isolated case because the Churches of St. John and Sv. Theodore in Bol on Brač were also erected that way. A trapezoidal apse was added to the cistern, and the space between the old and new walls was filled with rubble. Apart from the spacious entrance, the only opening in the Church was a transept in the middle of the apse, traces of which were found during the excavation.
