The Church of St. Peter on the Island of Šipan is situated on Velji vrh, near the abandoned village Govedjari. It was built probably in the 11th century.
Its a rectangular single nave edifice divided into three bays, with a dome placed on squinches. Apse is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside.
The facade of the lateral walls feature a rhythmical alteration of lesenes and niches of approximately equal width. The Eastern wall is divided by two narrow blind niches. The Western wall was divided by lesenes framed by a single arch.
Conservation and restoration works in the 20th century completely restored the building.
