Church of St Anthony the Abbot, Šibenik

The church of St Anthony the Abbot, also known as the church of St Chrysogonus, is located in Šibenik. Today it serves as an exhibition space, so visitors can see it together with the display.

Originally it is a Romanesque building from the 12th century. In the 15th century it was rebuilt and then acquired many Gothic features, and later interventions added Renaissance and Baroque traits. It is single-nave, correctly oriented, with a semicircular apse covered by a semi-dome. A sacristy is attached to the south, and the nave is covered by an open wooden roof. On the outside the stone has remained unplastered. On the main façade a Romanesque door with a lunette has been preserved.

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-2037.
