Description

The Church of St. Thecla is situated in Spič to the West of Sutomore. It is a single nave edifice from the 13th century with an apse and a bell-tower, which was added at a later date. The church has two altars: one is in the apse in the East, while a second is positioned outside of the church at the Western wall to the left of the entrance. Both are used by the Orthodox and Roman Catholics alike. Around the church is a joint Orthodox and Catholic cemetery. The church was renewed in 2005.
