Abstract
The paper seeks to elucidate the circumstances of the construction of the continental-styled Late Gothic chapel with the present-day titular patron of St Barbara, built on next to the Krk cathedral. The models for its shaping, typical for the area of the Quarnero islands, are pointed out as well as the neglected significance of the statement of the chapel’s iconographic program and the historical background of the construction period that can be associated with the short-lived agreement from 1449 concluded among the feuding successors of the quondam count Nikola IV Frangipani.
