Place

The Church at Kolovare was built before 1100 AD and is only known from the model of the city of Zadar from 1560, which is displayed in the Museo Storico Navale in Venice.
It was a six leaf edifice, similar to the Church Stomorice. Its exact position is unknown.

Zadar, Church of St. Lawrence
|
Place
|
|
|
The Church of St. Lawrence is situated in Zadar and was possibly built in the 10th or 11th century. It underwent some renovations at the end of the 11th or beginning of the 12th century. The Church was again refurbished in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
The Church is longitudinal in shape and has four pillars, so it seems that it has three naves. But the side naves are so narrow that they can hardly be passed through, and each nave is vaulted with calottes (on trumpets). Therefore, most researchers consider this to be a single nave Church with a dome.
Church was fresco decorated, but none of it is preserved. Rich sculptural decoration is mostly in Zadar Archaeological Museum.

|
Place
|
|
|
The Church of Sveta Nediljica (former dedication was to St. John the Baptist) is situated in Zadar and was built in the second half of the 11th century. The church was destroyed in the year 1891.
It was a three nave edifice and had a tri partite apse (the middle one was rectangular while the other two, on both sides, were semicircular on the inside. All were rectangular on the outside). Next to the church, on the South side, there is a square bell tower with lesenes and had a door which connected it to the Church. On the North side of the Church a sacristy was added, which also had a door which connected it to the Church. A crypt was beneath the Church.
Researchers believe that this Church was built on the remains of the previous one, probably from Early Christian period.

Zadar, Church of St. Stošija in Puntamiki
|
Place
|
|
|
The Church of St. Stošija is situated in Puntamika, in Zadar. It was probably built in the 9th century and was excavated in 1952..
Its a single nave edifice, built with the adaptation of the former ancient cistern, which, as we know, is not an isolated case because the Churches of St. John and Sv. Theodore in Bol on Brač were also erected that way. A trapezoidal apse was added to the cistern, and the space between the old and new walls was filled with rubble. Apart from the spacious entrance, the only opening in the Church was a transept in the middle of the apse, traces of which were found during the excavation.

Place

The Church of St. Vitus in Zadar was erected in the 10th or the 11th century, while the city was under the supreme rule of the Byzantine Empire. It was demolished in 1877, but the descriptions of the exterior of the building, made by the Zadar painter Ivan Smirić, have been preserved.
It was an edifice in the form of a free cross with a dome, very similar to the Church of the Holy Cross in Nino.

Zadar, Stomorica Church (S. Maria de Pusterla)
|
Place
|
|
|
The Stomorica Church in the city of Zadar was most probably built in the 11th century. Goss argues for this date based on architectural grounds, i.e. the combination of the church and a bell tower. In Croatian coastal cities bell towers are not to be found before the 11th century. The church came out of use before the year 1560, when it was demolished. It is not shown in the model of Zadar of the same year, which is kept in the Museo Storico Navale in Venice. The Stomorica Church was discovered in the year 1880 and excavated between 1956 and 1967.
Its a six leaf Church (or as some researchers indicate - a circular ground plan with five semicircular apses) with a dome, an atrium and a bell tower on its Western side. Remains of fresco paintings were found.
