Photo and descriptionThe Church of St. Fosk is one of the many temples in Vrsar, is a religious and architectural landmark of the city. The construction of the church took place in the first half of the 17th century. The architectural style of the building is Renaissance, but the architect was able to include even baroque elements in the overall look. The facade of the building dates back to the Renaissance, but at the same time the doors that lead to the temple itself look very simple and unpretentious. Originally, there were two bells at the top of the building. One of them was made in the 16th century (the executor was a Venetian foundry), but was removed during the First World War. This old bell was later replaced with a newer one made in the 20th century at the Lapagna foundry in Trieste, Italy. The second bell was made in 1680, it is decorated with images of the faces of the Virgin Mary and St. Fosc, as well as a crucifix. During the Second World War, the Italians considered it the most reasonable decision to remove both bells, but not in order to use them for military purposes. Subsequently, the bells were returned to the Church, but they were only hung on the bell tower of the parish church of St. Martin. Not so long ago, reconstruction work took place in the Church of St. Fosk. The interior decoration of the temple is complemented by the painting "The Martyrdom of St. Fosc", which dates back to the 17th century. No less interesting are the gravestones decorated with texts in Latin and the coats of arms of noble families.
