| Island of Lopud, Church of St. Elijah | Place | The remains of the Church of Sv. Elijah are situated on the south side of the semicircular bay of the Island of Lopud built probably in the 9th century, while Church furnishing from the 11th century indicates that the Church was restored the restoration at the end of the early medieval period. The Church of St. Elijah was first mentioned in written sources 1249. Its a single nave building with a dome supported by squinches. Allegedly, traces of frescoes could once be seen on these squinches, but today the rain mostly washed them away. Interior walls have lesenes placed in the middle of the wall leaning against the stone consoles, which is specific to this edifice. Apse is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside. In time, the Church was left without a western facade and a roof, and with their demolition, the original square dome disappeared. Fragments of stone decoration can still be seen, including transena, altar screen beam with parts of inscription in Latin and consoles. | ||
| Island of Lopud, Church of St. Mary | Place | The Church of St. Mary (dedicated to the Mother of God), also known by the name "Our Lady of Šunj", is located at the Eastern end of the Island, near the Šunj bay. In historiography is mentioned as Santa Maria de Bisono. The Church was probably built in the 9th century. Of the early medieval church, only a slab remains, built into the facade of a newer building, but given the historical data from the 13th century, it can be assumed that in the same place there was a pre-Romanesque Church probably dedicated to the same patron saint. Rectangular slab with double profiled edge on all sides has a large Latin cross in the middle. Stylistic development of the Church is unknown, therefore the Church has remained unexplored to this day. | ||
| Island of Lopud, Church of St. Nicholas the Greek | Place | The Church of St. Nicholas the Greek is situated near the Polačica hill, North of the Church St. John and Church St. Peter, on the Island of Lopud. This church has an unusual name due to the fact that on the coast, within the Dominican monastery, there is another Church of the same name. The older one was given the adjective "Greek", which emphasizes its age and time of origin, i.e. in the time of the Byzantine Empire. Its a single nave building with a dome (rectangular on the outside) and an apse is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside, built in the 11th century. On the outside, the shallow niches end in double arches making this Church special since such decoration is rarely seen on this part of the land. In the lower part of the apse fragments of fresco decoration can be seen. The Church was in ruins but in the 1970s a complete conservation intervention was carried out and today the Church regained almost entirely its former appearance. |
