History and purpose
The Church of St Mary in the cemetery in Gornji Humac preserves an older pre-Romanesque section, while a later extension turned the original small church into the sanctuary of a larger building. A local tourism source highlights its layered history and cemetery setting.
Structure and traces of the past
The older core has a simple exterior, while its interior is divided into three niches and covered by a barrel vault. The church houses a stone triptych of the Madonna and Child, St Peter and St John, which a local account associates with the workshop of Niccolò Fiorentino in the 15th century. A Baroque wrought-iron grille further separates the older sanctuary area.
Access and visiting
The church stands in the local cemetery. Please keep any visit quiet and considerate; before entering, check the current arrangements with the parish or local community.
