Early Medieval Churches of the Pseudo-basilica type in Dalmatia
Tomislav Marasović
Sažetak
The article discusses pseudo-basilica churches, so called because the external appearance of the roof gives the impression of a basilican structure with an elevated central nave, while in fact these were single naved barrel vaulted churches, covered with a two-eaved roof, where only the lateral zones were covered with separate lower roofs.
The author briefly describes six churches of this type in Dalmatia:
1. St. Michael at Igrane near Makarska,
2. St. Stephen at Pučišće on the island of Brač,
3. St. John the Baptist at Bol on the island of Brač,
4. St. John the Baptist at Stari Grad on the island of Hvar,
5. St. Nicholas on the island of Sušac,
6. St. Andrew at Baćina, although a ruin, was included in this group because of characteristics similar to Early Christian buildings with the addition of pilasters along the lateral walls.
The analyzed material results in conclusions about the topography, dating, and genesis of pseudo-basilica buildings in Dalmatia.
