St. Mary's Church, Romanesque monastery in Zadar, Croatia.
The monastery complex features a stone bell tower, rounded arches, and a Renaissance portal constructed with local limestone blocks from Zadar region.
Founded in 1066 by noblewoman Čika, the monastery received protection from King Petar Krešimir IV and financial support from King Coloman of Hungary.
The monastery preserves a collection of religious manuscripts, including Čika's prayer book now stored at Oxford's Bodleian Library.
Located at Madijevaca ulica 10, the church stands near the Roman Forum and remains an active religious center with regular visiting hours.
The monumental tower, built in 1105, contains an inscription commemorating King Coloman's entrance to Zadar and displays 12th-century frescoes.
