Les églises doubles de Dalmatie et de Bosnie-Herzégovine
1996
Double churches with or without side annexes are quite common in the Roman province of Dalmatia. Sixteen double churches - 5% of the inventory of Dalmatia - were recorded in our work. Few churches were built at one time, more at different times. In the latter case, there may be an influence exercised by Salona and the wish to reproduce the churches of its episcopal group on a smaller scale. Other motivations must be taken into account; they can be of liturgical (baptismal, funerary, martyrial) and practical kind. But none were generally prouved. We have few examples with liturgical furnishings almost fully preserved in both buildings, showing similar functions.
