| Janjina, Church of St. George | Place | The Church of St. George is situated on a hill near Janjina, in the middle of the Pelješac Peninsula. Today in ruins it was probably built in the second half of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century as a single-nave edifice with a semicircular apse. It was built by certain Peter (Petar), whose name is written in the Latin inscription on the stone architrave on the altar screen. Arounf the Church is a Late Antique cemetery. | ||
| Ston, Church of St. Archangel Michael | Place | The Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Ston was probably erected by Prince Stefan Vojislav, the archont of the Serbs and a Terbounian Serb (reigned ca. 1037-1050), in the first half of the 11th century. The church is situated on top of the hill named Gradac and it might have served as a palace church. Its a rectangular, single-nave building, which is divided with composite pilasters into three bays (the middle one has a blind dome, while Eastern and Western have groin vaults) and a bell-tower situated on its Western side. The altar apse is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside. The exterior is decorated with lesenes and niches, while door frames and stone window have low-relief decoration. Fresco decoration has been severely damaged but we can still recognize its iconographical programme. Certainly the most significant is the fresco decoration of the ktetor who is holding a model of the church and along with Latin inscriptions we can conclude that the paintings are of Western pre-Romanesque and Byzantine influence finished probably around 1050 (for sure until 1081). | ||
| Ston, Church of the Virgin of Lužina | Place | The Church of the Virgin of Lužine (Monastery of the Holy Mother of God) was built in the 10th or the 11th century in the Ston Polje field, close to the sea. It underwent several renovations in the 13th and 16th centuries which makes it difficult to determine its former appearance. The Church is a single-nave edifice with a semicircular apse, and a tower on its Western end (built during later renovations). It is also probable that this Church Sava Nemanjić designated as the seat of the bishopric in Hum, in 1220. The Church was repaired and restored after an earthquake in 1667 and later again in 1891. Today it is a Roman Catholic Church. |
