Awesome. Although we were only able to visit it from the outside. We will return another time. It dates from the 16th-17th centuries. The cemetery is next door

Striking church at the top of Lierganes. Magnificent construction that defies the vicissitudes of time and emerges imperiously over this atemporal village. Wonderful views on the Pas valley.

I am in front of it and I have been surprised by its beauty and monumentality... the shame is that I have not been able to visit it inside. Although there is a small hill, it is worth visiting.

Beautiful Renaissance style church

We didn't have the opportunity to visit it because it was closed. It has a sober and large building, well restored.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
