Шаблон:Infobox churchШаблон:Catholic Church in Croatia sidebar Church of the Holy Cross (Шаблон:Lang-hr) is a Croatian Pre-Romanesque Catholic church originating from the 9th century in Nin.[1]
Description
According to a theory from an art historian Mladen Pejaković,[2] the design has an intentionally unbalanced elliptical form designated to "follow" the position of the Sun, retaining the functionality of a calendar and sundial.[2] In its beginning, in the time of the Croatian principality, it was used as a royal chapel of the duke's courtyard nearby.[2]
The church is that of a central type, it features the Croatian interlace (or simply "troplet") and a carved name of the župan of Nin "Godečaj".[2][3]
The church is known under the moniker of "the smallest cathedral in the world",[1][4][5] but it does not actually contain the seat of a bishop of Nin today.
