St. Mary’s Basilica, Istria, Croatia
4.5 (5 reviews) Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Ranking #2 in Brijuni Ancient Ruins • Churches & Cathedrals
Family vacation
The three-nave church of square ground plan whose lateral walls have been preserved almost to their original height. The size of the church (11x 24 m) indicates a large population of the nearby castrum erecting this edifice in the 5th/6th century. The altar area is two steps higher and is divided from the church nave by a partly preserved triumphal arch. The altar basis is preserved in situ. The atrium of the basilica holds a small collection of stone monuments, exhibiting, among other, church findings, transennae and stone window grids. In the open front part of the basilica and around it was an Early Christian cemetery 300 m long, stretching as far as the southeastern corner of the castrum.

Another gre at place in Brijuni to visit!
It is almost one of the oldest things here on this Island. If I remember correctly only some roman place is even older. Or ... those footsteps of dinosaurs which I have missed or they are not open for public? I have forget! I m sure you can find many things on Island of Brijuni to think about! What and Island!!!
