Chapel of Our Lady of the Belfry, Catholic church in Split, Croatia.

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Belfry stands integrated within the western wall of Diocletian's Palace, featuring a Romanesque bell tower and vaulted transepts.

Originally constructed as a guardhouse in the 6th century, the structure underwent transformation into a church when refugees arrived from neighboring communities.

The painted Icon of Our Lady of the Bell Tower, formerly displayed in the church, now resides in the treasury of Saint Dujam Cathedral.

The church structure remains accessible through external stairs, which women of Split traditionally used when seeking blessings before giving birth.

The bell tower of this religious site ranks among the earliest examples of such structures in Croatia, incorporating fragments of ancient altarpieces within Gothic windows.
