Dubrovnik, Church of St. Simeon	Place			The Church of St. Simeon was situated in the Western part of Kaštel (Castello), in Dubrovnik. The Church was probably built in the 11th century since it was first mentioned in 1108 (terminus ante quem) by the Archbishop of Dubrovnik Domenico. In a devastating earthquake in 1667 the Church was completely ruined and was never rebuilt again. With the expansion of the city, on the site of the Church, the sacristy of St. Peter was built. Based on archival data, in 1956, the history of the Church and the Monastery was first presented to the public.
Dubrovnik, St. Mary of Castellum (Sv. Marija od Kaštela)	Place			The Church of St. Mary of Castellum (Sv. Marija od Kaštela) is situated in the South-Western part of Dubrovnik. The original appearance and typical affiliation of the pre-Romanesque church of St. Mary is not known. Based on the decorative features of the pilaster above the entrance door and another with a cross motif, the Church can be dated to the end of the 8th or the beginning of the 9th century. The Church probably turned into a cathedral when it was built to the South side next to the smaller and older church of St. Sergius and Bacchus (built in the 6th century). Some researchers suggest that it is possible that the current chapel dedicated to St. Mary, in the monastery complex, is actually a former Church of St. Mary. In the 12th century it became a Benedictine monastery.
