Today we visited the church of St. Peter and Paul in Načeradec during the service celebrated by the vicar Lukáš Okurka, a beautiful mass in the historic Catholic booth.

The original Romanesque church dominates the square next to the town hall and the remains of the fortress. The oldest part is from around 1120. A fire in the 13th century meant a Gothic reconstruction. The most famous local monument is the Načerad missal from the end of the 13th century.

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.
