Photo and description

The Church of the Archangel Michael is located in the Old Town, on the upper square of the Duke Stefan. Unofficially, this square is called Belavista, because it offers a picturesque view of the bay. The church is surrounded by four palm trees, on the square in front of the church there is a fountain, as well as a cafe.

The construction of the church was started relatively recently - in 1883. Most of the project was designed by the famous architect Milan Karlovac, but several other architects also took part in the construction. The Church of the Archangel Michael was completed by 1911, in the same year it was solemnly consecrated.

The church is quite small in size, but it attracts the attention of art critics and tourists because it demonstrates a mixture of several architectural styles: Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, as well as the effects of Islamic influence.

The interior of the church is no less impressive than the exterior. The church is famous for the iconostasis made by master Bilinic, a native of Split. The main material he used is marble of Italian origin. The church also contains several icons by the famous Czech artist Franjo Sigler.
