History and purpose

The Church of St Michael near Gornji Humac belongs to a group of sites where a Christian building is associated with an older, prehistoric landscape feature. The available specialist study stresses that investigations capable of establishing a firm date have not been carried out at the site.

Structure and traces of the past

The position beside a stone mound is important for interpreting continuity in the religious use of the area, but does not by itself establish the precise relationship between the church and the older monument.

Access and visiting

The site lies outside the village. The displayed point is for orientation; check the route, land ownership and actual access conditions before setting out.
