| Nin, Church of St. Mary | Place | The Church of St. Mary in Nin was possibly built in the 6th century and then refurbished in Pre-Romanesque style in the 11th century. It was demolished in the year 1646 in order to provide building material for the renovation of the city fortifications. It was a three nave edifice with a semicircular apse on the inside and pentagonal on the outside. It seems that the Church floor was covered with mosaics. Remains of stone Church furnishing has been found. | ||
| Nin, Church of St. Nicholas | Place | The Church of St. Nicholas was built around 1100 and is situated in Prahuljama, near Nin. It is a central building with four arms arranged around a central circular core, three of which form the apse, and the fourth is the entrance arm. Above the central space rises a dome in a tambour with an cross-ribbed vault. Seven kings were coronated in this building. | ||
| Nin, Church of the Holy Cross | Place | The Church of the Holy Cross was built around 800. Its entrance bears an inscription in crude capitals which says: "GODEAI IUPPANO ?ISTO DOMO CO". The inscription is interpreted as "Godečaj Iuppano isto domo construxit". Thus, the church is interpreted to have been a court chapel of the Croatian rulers, who had their court next to the church. It was also used as a sepulcher. The Church was named the smallest cathedral in the world. Its an edifice shaped in the form of a Greek cross whose arms are vaulted, has three apses and a dome of irregular ellipsoidal shape. Noticeable shifts from the correct axis are the result of tracking the sun so the Church served (and is still used) as a kind of clock and calendar. |
