Church of St. Chrysogonus

The Church of St. Chrysogonus exhibits solid stone walls, semi-circular arches, and detailed stone carvings characteristic of medieval religious architecture in Dalmatia.

Archbishop Lampridius consecrated this religious edifice in 1175, and Queen Elizabeth of Bosnia found her initial resting place within these walls in 1387.

The church stands as the last remaining structure of a medieval Benedictine abbey complex, representing the religious evolution of Zadar through centuries.

Visitors can access the church interior to examine historical artifacts, architectural elements, and religious artworks that document the structure's extensive past.

The bell tower construction, which started in 1485, remained incomplete and was abandoned in 1546, leaving an unfinished architectural element.
