Church of St Andrew in Kotišina, Makarska

The small church of St Andrew is located outside the settlement, south of the road to Vrgorac. It is suitable for those who want to see what modest village chapels in the hinterland of Makarska looked like.

The building is single-nave, rectangular, with a square apse and small in size. On the west façade is a door in a smooth stone frame, and above it a stone slab with a perforated six-petalled rosette. At the top of the gable a bell gable has been built without a special base. The side walls are not articulated; they are built of more regularly worked stone in courses. The roof is gabled, covered with curved pantiles. The church is representative of simple chapels without distinct stylistic features, built in the 17th and 18th centuries on the Makarska littoral.

The church is a protected cultural good and is entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-4936.
