Abstract
In the paper, the author presents the results of the archaeological excavations of the remains of the Church of St. Peter at Prosika in the town of Pag. The excavations revealed the remains of a younger church with a square apse which had been removed for the purpose of building a saltern at the site mentioned above. The floor was found of a church, beneath which there was a smaller and older church with a semi-circular apse and counterforts in the nave. Due to the planned removal of both buildings, there are no remains of the church furniture or other archaeological remains. According to the analogies from Pag and Nin the older church roughly dates back from the 9th to the 11th century, while in regard to the material, the younger church may be dated to the 16th century. The remains of six graves were found, one of which was not investigated because of bad weather conditions and sea level.
