Abstract
The article discusses the monastic church of St Lawrence and the Benedictine complex associated with it, which were once located next to the western entrance in the town walls of Krk, the Roman Curicum, in the area of its western necropolis, immediately above the town port. Based on the archival records and scarce, albeit significant, material remains in the field, plausible suggestions about the original appearance of the church are made. A pair of granite columns which were frequently re-used across the town of Krk are connected to a pair of capitals, and all further linked to the archival records mentioning two extremely "beautiful" columns which decorated the sanctuary area in the aisled church of St Lawrence.
