Church of All Saints, Gornji Humac

In the middle of the cemetery in Gornji Humac, in the municipality of Pučišća, stands the 13th-century church of All Saints. It is interesting as the last witness of the medieval settlements of Mošuje and Dubravica, which disappeared when the plague ruled in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is located in Split-Dalmatia County.

The single-nave church has a rectangular apse, and is surrounded by graves arranged in a regular grid and covered with single stone slabs. The walls are of rubble stone, and the roof of stone slabs. The rustic lintel above the entrance bears a cross and the inscription Ecclesia Omnium Sanctorum. At the top of the façade a wide Romanesque bell gable with an arched opening stands out, while the side walls are articulated by three niches, on the model of pre-Romanesque little churches. Inside is a barrel vault.

The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-4682.
