| Island of Koločep, Church of St. Barbara in Borje (Gospa Nuncijata) | Place | The remains of the Church of St. Barbara are located above the eastern ridge of Gornje Čelo, south of the road leading from Dinkovo Selo to Rajić's house, in an area called Borje. V. Lisičar was the first to mention the Church indicating that its other dedication was Gospa Nuncijata or Gospa Navještenja (Church of the Annunciation). Unfortunately, the results of the research, conducted in 1975, have not been published yet so we don't have enough information regarding this Church. The Church is a single nave edifice with a dome, with an apse which is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside. It was probably build sometime between 9th and 11th century. | ||
| Island of Koločep, Church of St. Sergius | Place | The Church of St. Sergius was probably built at the end of the 11th century, even though Ivica Žile supposes it might have been built between the 9th and 10th century judging by the remains of an altar, pillar and a capital. The Church is nowadays almost completely ruined. Its a single nave building with an apse that is semicircular inside and rectangular on the outside. There is no information about the dome nor about the girders that would divide the three-bay vault, but by analogy with other preserved Churches of the same type on the island (St. Nicholas and St. Anthony of Padua) its original existence can be assumed. The South wall is preserved best, at the height of approximately 3m, and has on its central bay a niche. In the 12th century on the South side of the church a parallel room was added, and on the North side - a cistern. | ||
| Kuti, Church of St. Thomas | Place | The Church of St. Thomas in Kuti near Herceg Novi was probably built in the last quarter of the 11th century. It is a single nave edifice with a semicircular apse in the East as well as with semicircular vaults and a dome, indicating a strong Byzantine influence. Fragments of fresco paintings and stone furnishings have been found. A remaining stone altar screen with two parapets indicates a new, Romanesque style. On the other hand, the fresco decoration (dated to the end of the 11th and the beginning of the 12th century) with heads of Saints points to Byzantine artists, having similarities with the frescoes in the chapel and crypt of the katholikon of the Monastery of Hosios Loukas in Phokis and the Church of St. Nicholas on the island of Koločep. The Church of St. Thomas is in ruins with walls preserved up to a maximum height of ca. 2,5 m. |
