Abstract

This paper describes a fragment of a pre-Romanesque architrave, found in the bell-tower of the Franciscan monastery on Košljun. The fragment has very clear features regarding the style and workshop, indicating its narrower dating and relationship with similar monuments in the wider territory of medieval Croatia and Byzantine Dalmatia. This is a workshop from the time of prince Branimir, brought into connection in our literature with a large number of Benedictine monasteries – a view that may find further corroboration in the newly discovered fragment from Košljun.
