Summary
The Church of St Elijah west of Donji Humac was built beside the remains of a Roman mausoleum. The sources used state that some dressed stone from the ancient building was incorporated into the church.
This is an archaeologically sensitive site; its appearance on the map does not indicate unrestricted entry or access around the remains.
History and purpose
The sources associate the Church of St Elijah with the medieval religious heritage of Donji Humac and broadly date its origins to the 10th century. A distinctive feature is its position on the site of an older Roman building.
Structure and traces of the past
Remains of a Roman mausoleum are described beside the church, and dressed stone from the ancient building was used in its construction. This is an example of the reuse of older building material; details of its appearance and dating should be checked in conservation and archaeological studies.
