Brnazi, Church of St. Archangel Michael Place The Church of St. Archangel Michael was built in the 9th or 10th century on St. Michael's Hill near Brnazi. A fragment of the choir-screen is preserved and shows the inscription: "INDIGNVS PECATOR FIERI R[ogavi?] ... [t]EMPORE DOM[ni]." This inscription is interpreted in such a way that the church was founded by the Croatian rulers who used the term Domnus as title. The church was destroyed during the Mongol invasion in the year 1242.
Pridraga, Church of St. Archangel Michael Place The Church of St. Archangel Michael was most probably built at the beginning of the 9th century or in the year 1000, as some researchers suggest, and is part of a complex of buildings called "Manastirine". This toponym points towards a ruined monastery at the same place, which had probably survived from late Roman times. Its a six-leaf edifice of irregular plan, which is today in ruins.
Rogačići Place The church in Rogačići is a six-leaf edifice erected north of the Bosna River's source, probably in the second half of the 9th and the beginning of the 10th century. Today only the foundations have remained. No historical records have been found about this edifice. Some researchers, judging by the well preserved ciborium, believe that this church was renewed or embellished in the 11th century, which corresponds to the mass Christianisation of the Serbs (the ground plan of the church also indicates that its main purpose was for mass baptism).
