Abstract

In the former St. Nicholas' Monastery in Zadar, which was desecrated in the late 18th century minor conservation works and archaeological research have been recently carried out. They were restricted to the church and bell-tower. In the early Middle Ages a Benedictine Abbey was situated there as testified by some fragments of pre-Romanesque church furniture and capitals. In the 12th century a Romanesque five storey bell-tower must have been built by the church. The upper storeys ware articulated with mullioned windows (one or two mullions). Historical sources show that a new monastery church was built in the 14th century. Its remains have been recently discovered under an 18th century baroque basilica. The latter was never finished, especially the front, in contrast to its aisled interior. The church was constructed in 1760 after design of the Zadar architect, Antonio Piovesano.
