DeutschChurch of St. Lucy, Jurandvor
The Church of St. Lucy (Croatian: Crkva svete Lucije) in Jurandvor near Baška, Krk, Croatia is a Romanesque Catholic church from the year 1100 with two major medieval Croatian artifacts: the Baška Tablet,[1] and a checkerboard-pattern carving on the bell tower that is suspected to be one of the first instances of the Croatian coat of arms.[2]
Archaeological research confirmed it was built on the site of a 6th century church, where was also located ancient Roman villa rustica.[3] In the 9th and 10th century the locality was used by early Christianized Croats as a graveyard, and in 11th century the church was renovated. In the 12th century it was used by the Benedictines who renovate it again. In the 14th century the monasteries buildings were renovated while built a bell tower to the church which would be reconstructed in the 19th century.[4]
Initially considered that the church is dated to early Romanesque period (11-12th century),[3] lately art historian Pavuša Vežić argued it is dated to the late Romanesque period (13-14th century).[4]
