Zadar - St. Lawrence

Zadar - St. Lawrence
A museum attendant had told me, that the small church of St. Lawrence (Sveti Lovre) was to find at Narodni Place. Near the famous City Guard (Gradska straža) with the city clock tower, "but behind a coffe shop".

It took some time, but I found it. Behind the coffee shop! The visitor actually walks through the coffee shop - and there it is. Dated to the 11th century, small and hard to find.

When it was erected, there were still many Roman ruins around, so that building material got reused. Looking back - to the coffee shop on the other end of the church.

I don't know anything about the "social surroundings" of this church, but the ratio people/church was incredible during the 10th/12th centuries. Zadar will have had dozends of churches, inclung small chapels like this one. To sponsor an altar screen here may have been the ticket to heaven.
