| Omiš, Church of St. Peter | Place | The Church of St. Peter in Omiš is mentioned in the period from 1074 to 1090 in the Codex Diplomaticus and, thus, was built before that, most probably between 1050 and 1070. Its a single-nave edifice with a dome and an apse on its Eastern end, similar in plan to the Church of St. Michael in Ston and St. John the Baptist in Podace, near Zaostrog. There are also similarities with the Church of St. George in Ribnica (Podgorica). The outer walls are segmented by lesenes. Spoliae, probably from the 6th century building that once stood here, have been used. | ||
| 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). |
