Church of St. Lucy, Jurandvor

The Church of St. Lucy (Croatian: Crkva svete Lucije) in Jurandvor near Baška, Krk, Croatia is a Romanesque Catholic church from the year 1100 with two major medieval Croatian artifacts: the Baška Tablet,[1] and a checkerboard-pattern carving on the bell tower that is suspected to be one of the first instances of the Croatian coat of arms.

[2] Archaeological research confirmed it was built on the site of a 6th century church, where was also located ancient Roman villa rustica.

In the 14th century the monasteries buildings were renovated while built a bell tower to the church which would be reconstructed in the 19th century.

[4] Initially considered that the church is dated to early Romanesque period (11-12th century),[3] lately art historian Pavuša Vežić argued it is dated to the late Romanesque period (13-14th century).
