City of Gospić - Chapel of St. Ivan Nepomuk

The Chapel of St. Ivan Nepomuk is located in the center of Gospić. It was built by Czech soldiers in 1749, on the place where today is the Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is named after the Czech saint Ivan Nepomuk. At that time, it was the only church in the town of Gospić and it became too small for so many believers. For this reason, a church of St. Ivan Nepomuk was demolished and a new bigger one was built at the same place, while the Chapel of St. Ivan Nepomuk was built one hundred meters away from the old one in 1883. In the chapel, there is a memorial plaque to the victims of Senj.

Municipality of Perušić - Church of Saint Vitus

The inscription in the church of Saint Vitus in Kosinj Bakovac is an important part of the Kosinj Glagolitic heritage. It dates from 1517 and can be found above the entrance door, where the coat of arms of Anž Frankopan and the Glagolitic text are turned upside down. There are different theories about the stone, e.g. that it was moved from the nearby Frankopan town of Ribnik in the Kosinj Valley, which some historians relate to the location of the first Glagolitic printing house in Croatia.
Bakovac Kosinjski - Croatia/ Lika-Senj County

The Church has 3 aisles and hosts rare and fine antiquities, among which a fresco from the XII – XIII Century and a collection of liturgical objects. The Church hill has been used as a war refuge during WW1 and some of the tunnels are still partly visible.

Pare che l'attuale Pieve di Santa Maria sia stata eretta tra il secolo VII ed il IX sul colle di Agròns, dove, secondo la tradizione sorgeva il castello di Agrons, con le pietre del quale fu edificata la Pieve.
La Pieve si presenta come una basilica a tre navate e custodisce pregevoli e rare antichità: affreschi risalenti al XII – XIII secolo con la parabola evangelica delle dieci Vergini ed una ricca raccolta di oggetti artistici e liturgici. In un vano della Pieve è ospitato un Lapidarium.
Il colle su cui sorge la Pieve è percorso da gallerie utilizzate come rifugio durante la I Guerra Mondiale e sono in minima parte ancora percorribili.

Pieve di San Martino (San Martino Parish Church)

The old San Martino Parish Church is also an archaeological site which is visible both outside and inside the church (in this case, through a glass floor). The archaeological findings confirm that the building existing before the church was a house dating back to the IV-V Century, upon the remainings of which the church with a exagonal baptisimal font was built. Fore approximately 500 years the font has not been used but then, around the X Century it started being employed again. In the nearby area archaeologists have discovered finds which are a clear testimony of the presence of people of slavic origins (following their own specific funeral rituals) before the X Century.

From the Church, in 15 minutes on foot one can get to the village of Luint.

L'antica Pieve di San Martino è stata interessata da uno scavo archeologico che è visitabile sia in un'area esterna alla chiesa che all'interno della chiesa, perché ha interessato l'area pavimentale della navata (ora lo scavo è reso visibile da una copertura in vetro). Edificio antecedente a quello ecclesiastico risulta essere una abitazione di epoca tardo antica (IV-V sec.), sulle cui rovine fu edificato il complesso basilicale dotato di fonte battesimale esagonale (V sec.). Questo tra fine VI ed inizio VII sec. Fu abbandonato e utilizzato a scopo abitativo e sepolcrale. Il ripristino del complesso basilicale alla forma originaria risale al X sec.. L'area ha restituito necropoli altomedievali che testimoniano la presenza di abitanti autoctoni e appartenenti ad un gruppo slavo, che seguiva rituali funerari propri della cultura d'origine.
Di fronte alla Pieve sull'altro lato della strada si imbocca un percorso in acciottolato nel bosco che collega la Pieve all'abitato di Luint (15 minuti di percorso a piedi).

Chiesa di San Giorgio

The building is situated on a small hill that dominates the Corno valley. The little church of San Giorgio still retains its original appearance, as it was at the end of the fifteenth century, despite the remodeling work done during a later period. Consacrate in 1505, it has a rectangular main hall with exposed beams and a polygonal presbytery with a tracery vault with architectural elements; in front of the facade, there is a porch supported by stone pillars. Above the facade there is a seventeenth-century double lancet bell window. The sacristy was added at a later date, presumably during the 17th century.
The stone entrance portal is the work of Giovanni Antonio Pilacorte and is dated 1515: on it, there are carvings of Saint George and the Dragon, the heads of cherubs and floral patterns. The latin wording recites LIMINA COSURGUNT MERIT TIBI IMMANIA GEORGI (great spaces are opened to you thanks to saint George). Inside, there are two altars dedicated to Saint George and Saint John the Baptist. Since 1700, the little church has been a place for rogations, according to stages fixed by tradition: the crosses of the various participating churches (Rodeano, Coseano, Rive) were made to touch each other in sign of peace and brotherhood, as still happens today in san Pietro in Carnia on the day of the Ascension.

Chiesa di San Mauro

The little church of San Mauro is located on the fluvial terrace of the Corno river and is surrounded by a wall made from pebbles that once contained the old cemetery. The present-day sixteenth-century building is the result of remodeling and extension of an earlier church that dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries, as testified by the frescoes found inside. However, the first information relative to the church goes back to 1380, when it was erected as a chaplaincy. The building was destroyed by the Turks at the end of the 15th century and it was rebuilt shortly afterwards. Already the seat of the Parish church of Rive, the church has a rectangular main hall with an exposed trussed roof and a presbytery with a ribbed cross vault. The entrance hallway with a depressed arch and sacristy are from a later period. Inside, on the right-band wall, there is the most ancient fresco, dating back around the 12th-13th centuries, depicting Young Christ; while on the walls and on the counter-facade there are frescoes of the Las Judgment, History of the life of christ, Virgin and Child, Saints, Coronation of the Virgin, dating back tot he end of the 14th century or the beginning of the next and can be attributed to the Friulanian post-Vitale da Bologna school.

Pieve di san Martino

The Parish Church of San Martino Vescono has undergone numerous renovations and extensions over time. The Plebem des Ripis is mentioned in a bull issued by the patriarch Gottifredo, according to which in 1184 the church was donated to Liuptrando, king of the Longobards. The first structures of the church probably date back to this period. The church’s appearance is is of the eighteenth century, the same period in which the bell tower was built. The church has a rectangular main hall and a polygonal apse with a ribbed vault. Inside there is an eighteenth-century main altar (1717) with statues of the Annunciation, the altar of the Rosary (1845), the work of Pietro Fantoni di Gemona, a baptismal font delated 1541, created during the rule of the priest Zaccaria, and a Holy water font of 1504 by Giovanni Antonio Pilacorte.
Particularly interesting is the altar in painted stone, created in 1530 by Carlo da Carona with statues of saints, the Annunciation and the Eternal Father.
