Sažetak
The remains of the St Denis (Dionysius of Paris) church are
situated near the settlements of Bratulići and Stara Stancija in
the Municipality of Marčana (southeastern Istria). The site was
cleared of dense vegetation in 2019 and 2020, followed by the
production of detailed documentation in collaboration with the
Municipality of Marčana, the Archaeological Museum of Istria
in Pula and the Croatian Conservation Institute. Only the east
and south perimeter wall of the church have been preserved, to a
length of ten metres, in which there is a visible 0.9-metre-wide
walled-up passage/entrance. Antique period finds were recorded
in the immediate vicinity; this sacral building likely stood at the
site of an earlier (late) antique edifice. Based on the gathered
data this was most likely an aisleless church with an inscribed
apse, the likes of which are frequent in the Romanesque period
on the Istrian peninsula. The church is mentioned in the Istrian
Book of Boundaries, a document from the year 1325, as
“crekva Svetoga Duniža” and appears on maps in the late
eighteenth century.
