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 aroound, so that building material got reused. This capital seemes to be "Christian", having a small person in adorante-gestus. For a while I saw this as a baptism..
