| Island of Šipan, Church of St. Mary | Place | The Church of St. Mary is situated on the Island of Šipan, today in ruins. Its a single nave edifice probably built in the 5th or 6th century. In the period between the 9th and the 11th century the Church was vaulted. There are no evidence of the existing dome. Thanks to the preserved transena, we date the building to the pre-Romanesque period. In the 16th century, as part of the construction of the summer house of the bishops of Dubrovnik, the Church became a part of the residence now restored with Renaissance-style building interventions. | ||

Its a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse, built in the close proximity of an antique archaeological site. Also, with some capitals that were found, researchers believe that it was first built in the 6th or 7th century. In the Late Middle Ages the Church was expanded with the addition of the Western part and a vault, while its Northern window was reshaped. | ||
| Island of Šipan, Church of St. Michael, in Pakljena | Place | The Church of St. Michael is situated on the Island of Šipan, in Pakljena, next to the benedictine Church of St. Mary.

Its a single nave edifice, with three bays, a dome based on squinches and an apse which is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. The Church was partly refurbished and extended in the 14th century. In the time of the renaissance and/or baroque a bell-tower was added on the Western side of the building. Fragments of fresco decoration are still visible, as well as some stone reliefs. The church bears similarities to the Church of St John (Sveti Ivan) on the Island of Lopud. |
