Island of Lastovo, Church of St. Luke Place The Church of St. Luke on the Island of Lastovo was built in the 11th century and is the oldest preserved Church on the island. Its a single nave building built of irregular stones. A constructive arch is inscribed on its Western façade (probably in the 19th century), and on the side walls are three lesenes connected with arches. An apse on its Eastern end is rectangular on the outside and has a niche, while it is semicircular inside. It has similarities with the Church of St. John (Sveti Ivan) on the Island of Šipan.
Island of Lastovo, Church of St. Peter in Ubli Place The Church of St. Peter is situated in on the Island of Lastovo, in the village of Ubli. It was built probably in the 11th century on the grounds of the previous Early Christian Church, dated in the 5th or the 6th century. It was a single nave vaulted building with an apse on its Eastern end. Today the Church is in ruins
Island of Sušac, Church of St. Nicholas Place The Church of St. Nicholas is situated on the Island of Sušac, 23km West from the Island of Lastovo. The Island was inhabited in ancient times. An Early Christian Church, probably dedicated to St. Michael, was built in the 6th century. This building will be adapted into an early medieval Church dedicated to St. Nicholas. Since the earliest mentioning of the Church is in the 12th century representing the terminus ante quem for its dating, researchers believe that it was probably built at the end of the 11th century. The Church today is in ruins. Its a single nave vaulted building with an apse (semicircular in the inside and rectangular on the outside). In the interior it had three lesenes which were connected to each other by arches and closed the barrel-shaped lintels of the side niches and at the same time formed the basis for the construction of the barrel vault of the Church nave. A typical feature of this church is the "pseudo-basilica" roof. No decoration was found.
