The parish church dedicated to St. Dorothy was probably erected by the end of the 15th century. In the end of the 16th century a bell tower was added to the nave. It was renovated and partially transformed at the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries. The interior is decorated with a renaissance polychrome from the mid 16th century and with a mannerist one form the mid-17th century. The chapel is among the oldest of the corner joining wooden churches.

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.
