Abstract

Archaeological excavations of the site in Voćin – Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary – were conducted as part of the project “Voćin, Franciscan Monastery Archaeological Site”, supported by the Croatian Ministry of Culture in co-operation with the Požega Diocese, the Institute of Archaeolog y and the Cultural Heritage Protection Administration – Conservation Department, Požega. The excavations were conducted in the second half of November 2008 in the eastern part of the monastic complex, in a room that is physically connected to the bell-tower. The most significant find was the room’s medieval floor, decorated with rhombic motifs. Although the objects found in the layers above the Gothic floor give no indication of the room’s function, the existence of only one entrance – the one leading to the bell-tower, and that of an apse at the eastern side, suggests that it was the monastery’s chapel.
