Romanesque sacral architecture in Kaštela
Tonči Burić
Abstract
In this paper the author examines Romanesque churches
in the Kaštela area, as well as those that had been built earlier
but were reconstructed and remained in use during the Romanesque
era. The analysis covers the time of their construction
or renovation, the historical and political framework in
which they were built, their typology and masonry technique,
the liturgical articulation of their interiors, and their donors,
i.e., the social classes which made these donations. All analyzed
buildings were at the time part of the metropolitan see of
Split, either directly under the Split Archdiocese or within the
jurisdiction of the Trogir Diocese, and based on their purpose
they may be classified as votive, monastic and, in most cases,
parish churches. As a rule, the latter also served as cemeterial
places of worship.
