Church of St Luke, Supetar

The field chapel of St Luke stands between Supetar and Donji Humac in Split-Dalmatia County. It is interesting because it is an early Romanesque building from the 11th century, one of the older surviving churches on the island.

It is single-nave, with a semicircular apse, covered by a barrel vault carrying a transverse arch on a pair of pilasters. On the plaster inside, medieval ships are incised. Above the entrance is a hanging arch with a gabled roof. Near the church there is a late antique sarcophagus with a relief cross.

The church is a protected cultural good, entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of the Republic of Croatia under the code Z-1555.
