Economic and Residential Buildings on Benedictine Estates in the Districts of Trogir and Split
Tonči Burić
Sažetak
In this paper, the author examines economic and residential buildings whose existence in the High Middle Ages has been confirmed on Benedictine estates in the districts of Trogir and Split, either through archaeological remains or written sources. For the time being, three examples can be discussed in greater detail: two belonging to the Benedictines of the Trogir monastery of St. John the Baptist (Oriovica – Vinišća, 1272, medieval Orihovica; Miri – Kaštel Novi, 13th–14th century, medieval Špiljan), and
the third to the Benedictine nuns of the monastery of St. Arnir (formerly St. Benedict) in Split (Sts. Cosmas and Damian – Kaštel Gomilica, mid12th century, medieval Kozice). These were larger buildings constructed of regularly coursed dressed stone bonded with mortar, and they also had an upper floor. The ground floor probably contained rooms for storing crops before their transport to the city and for keeping tools, while the upper floor contained rooms and kitchens used by monks or nuns during seasonal work on the estates. For two of the three buildings analyzed here, written sources use the term domus (Orihovica, Kozice). In all three cases, the buildings were erected over the remains of Late Antique and Antique architecture, partly incorporating older masonry into the new structures. The paper also points to the probable existence of secular buildings on two further estates of the Trogir Benedictines (Japlenica – Aranđel, St. Michael, and the island of Fumija, St. Euphemia).
