ST NICHOLAS' CHURCH IN PRIJEKO

Željko Peković

Abstract

The church of St Nicholas in Prijeko has several layers. In the course of time it was rebuilt several times. The northern lateral nave was annexed to the original pre Romanesque church and the altar area was rebuilt. Twice it was widened towards the west, and in 1607 its facade was constructed in Renaissance style. The original vault construction with braces and a dome has been preserved. The southern side, dome and apse still have sh allow decorative niches. The original pre Romanesque church, which is a longitudinal single-naved structure, was divided by two pairs of lesenes in three equal parts. The central part was covered by a dome. The apse was square outside and semicircular inside. The walls of the apse and dome were decorated with shaJlow semi circular niches. It belonged to single-naved dome-typed church with an articulated outer side which is the most typical regional type of early Mediaeval architecture.
