Sažetak
Besides mentioning so far known finds of Early Christian architecture on Hvar, the paper deals with the churches of Holy Spirit, St. Mary Magdalen, Early Mediaeval church of St. Vitus (V id) and Romanesque church of St. Peregrinus (Pelegrin) and St. Cosmas and Damian. Christian life in the town of Hvar is evidenced by numerous finds of EarlyChristian lamps, from the 4th to the 6th centuries and Mediaeval ones, from the 9th to the 10th centuries. Archaeological finds in the area of the Hvar Cathedral revealed the existence of Early Christian architecture probably an Early Christian church with a baptistery and Early Mediaeval church with a monastery. The finds discovered on the Na Ciprijanovo site lead to the conclusion that an Early Christian Church of St. Ciprian might have been situated there. Religious buildings from the same period must have been built on theIslands of St Stephen and St. Clement.The Church of Holy Spirit in Hvar has characteristic trapezoidal ground plan. Fromits building technique and finds of pottery from the 6th to 7th centuries, the earliest church can be dated to the 5th to 7th centuries. Near the road which leads from Hvar to Milna a Gothic Church of St. Mary Magdalen is situated. It was built on the walls of an EarlyChristian church. Its shape, dimensions and orientation reveal a well known type of the Early Christian Church from the 5th to 6th centuries which was quite frequent in Dalmatia.The Church of St. Vitus near the village of Grablje, in the vicinity of Hvar, can be dated tothe 11th century. Typologically it is close to Early Mediaeval churches on the Island ofBrač. On the western promontory of the Island of Hvar there is the Church of St. Peregrinus which gave name to entire area to the west of Hvar.The church can be dated tothe 12th to 13th centuries. It was mentioned in the Hvar Statute from 1331. From the analysisof the Romanesque Church of St. Cosma and Damianus it was possible to deduce thatit was a Romanesque house from the mid 13th century which was converged into church in the late 13th century when the Town of Hvar became a strong cultural and urban centre.
