| Nin, Baptistery of St. John | Place | The Baptistery of St. John was built around 800 and demolished in 1746. The baptistery's remains are probably lying under the sacristy of the Church of St. Anselm. The font of the baptistery is identified with the font of Duke (knez) Višeslav (died ca. 803) in the Museum of Croatian Archeological Monuments at Split. | ||
| Nin, Church of St. Mary | Place | The Church of St. Mary in Nin was possibly built in the 6th century and then refurbished in Pre-Romanesque style in the 11th century. It was demolished in the year 1646 in order to provide building material for the renovation of the city fortifications. It was a three nave edifice with a semicircular apse on the inside and pentagonal on the outside. It seems that the Church floor was covered with mosaics. Remains of stone Church furnishing has been found. | ||
| Nin, Church of St. Nicholas | Place | The Church of St. Nicholas was built around 1100 and is situated in Prahuljama, near Nin. It is a central building with four arms arranged around a central circular core, three of which form the apse, and the fourth is the entrance arm. Above the central space rises a dome in a tambour with an cross-ribbed vault. Seven kings were coronated in this building. | ||
| Nin, Church of the Holy Cross | Place | The Church of the Holy Cross was built around 800. Its entrance bears an inscription in crude capitals which says: "GODEAI IUPPANO ?ISTO DOMO CO". The inscription is interpreted as "Godečaj Iuppano isto domo construxit". Thus, the church is interpreted to have been a court chapel of the Croatian rulers, who had their court next to the church. It was also used as a sepulcher. The Church was named the smallest cathedral in the world. Its an edifice shaped in the form of a Greek cross whose arms are vaulted, has three apses and a dome of irregular ellipsoidal shape. Noticeable shifts from the correct axis are the result of tracking the sun so the Church served (and is still used) as a kind of clock and calendar. |
