Wow so beautiful !! Kinneved Church offers many attractions. The interior is colorful, and the pulpit's sound ceiling has strong colors that give the church a special character. The church's cows with their softly rounded shapes have paintings on the ceiling, among other things. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to see this very beautiful little church which from the outside looks quite large, but once inside the church one is surprised that it is so small, but very, very beautiful!

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.
