Abstract

The chapel of Our Lady of Loreto in Pogančec, erected in 1780, was studied by Anđela Horvat as an example of Baroque Neo-Classicism. The specific ground plan and spatial disposition of the nave with dome supported by free-standing columns and pillars in the presbytery distinguish the chapel from other examples of ecclesiastical architecture of inland Croatia, representing a synthesis of diverse influences. The dome materializes the Marian circle, nave columns are a reflection of Baroque Neo-Classicism, while the façade and decorative elements display elements of Rococo.
