The Old Parish Churh of St Michael the Archangel in Dol
Ivica Moškatelo
Abstract
By synthesizing historical documents, the unpublished manuscripts and even certain legends, the author tried to present the historical and architectonic development of parish church of St Michael the Archangel in Dol. Due to its unique position on the hill (at 100 m above sea level) near Stari Grad and at southern part of Stari Grad field, the author just makes assumptions on important religious
function of Slavic Pre - Christian faith. The first reference of St Michael toponym appears in Hvar Statute of 1331. The building of the first church is related to the work of the Benedictines in our
area. The development and extension of the existing church was further studied through history in 18th and 19th century. The author ends his presentation with the date October 17th, 1904, when the old parish church was torn down and the building of the new one started and it was solemnly consecrated in 1910.
