| Dubrovnik, Church of St. Andrew in Pile | Place | The Church of St. Andrew is situated in Pile, in Western part of Dubrovnik, outside the city walls. It was probably built between the 10th and 11th century. Its a single nave edifice with three bays and a dome. After the establishment of an independent chaplaincy at the parish of St. Michael in 1512, the early medieval church served as the presbytery of a larger church building. Today from the original medieval Church of St. Andrew, the Eastern wall with the apse has been largely preserved while the rest of the building has been remodeled. | ||
| 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). |
