Biskupija, Church of Holy Trinity Place The Church beneath the Serbian Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity (Sveta Trojica) in Biskupija was most probably built before 1088 and is only mentioned in a letter of Rev. Vinjalić in the year 1746. The letter states: "[...] piu al insu verso ostro vi e la villa detta Bikupija, lontana circa tre migla a dritta linea dalla fortezza perche si va cercar li ponti ve ne sonne piu di sette; qui sono tre ruine delle fabriche; la piu vicina e la piu intatta, questa e una rotonda ottongolare, per che sia stata chiesa all'antica [...]". Based on written accounts from the 18th century, the pre-Romanesque Church had an eight-leaf ground plan (similar to the Church in Ošlje).
Biskupija, Church of St. Cecilia at Stupovi Place The Church of St. Cecilia was built before 1088, probably around 1060. It is probably to be identified with the church in front of which King Dmitar Zvonimir (reigned 1076-1089) was murdered. It fell to ruins at an unknown date. It was a three-nave edifice with three apses, and was probably vaulted. On the Western side was a narthex and a bell-tower and together they formed a westwerk. On the Southern side was a chapel.
