| Altar (Parts), Ston, Church of the Virgin of Lužina | Artifact | The inscription on the fragment of the altar screen, found near the church, reads "...ORE SCE... as (IN HON)ORE SANCTAE (MARIAE?)" and is dated probably to the beginning of the 9th century, while some scholars are discussing another origin from the church of the beginning of the 12th century. It is decorated with floral and geometric design with twelve three-way interlaced circles, inside which there are eight-leaf rosettes. The empty space is filled with seven-leaf palmettes. Stylistically it has been connected to pre-Romanesque style. Parts of the lintel as well as liturgical furniture are also preserved. |

| Ston, Church of the Virgin of Lužina | Place | The Church of the Virgin of Lužine (Monastery of the Holy Mother of God) was built in the 10th or the 11th century in the Ston Polje field, close to the sea. It underwent several renovations in the 13th and 16th centuries which makes it difficult to determine its former appearance. The Church is a single-nave edifice with a semicircular apse, and a tower on its Western end (built during later renovations). It is also probable that this Church Sava Nemanjić designated as the seat of the bishopric in Hum, in 1220. The Church was repaired and restored after an earthquake in 1667 and later again in 1891. Today it is a Roman Catholic Church. |
