The website at (
visit link) tells us:
"The most important and best preserved Romanesque building. It is located at Trg na lokvi, near the Bus Station. It is a seven-angle building containing in its interior a circular space with seven niches and a dome. It has all the features characteristic of the transition from the Romanesque into the Gothic style. A true authentic architecture gem is the beautifully preserved Early Romanesque transenna presenting Golgotha and the images of the Holy Mary, Mary Magdalene, St. Peter, St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist. No masses are held at the church today. It has been turned into a gallery"
