Church of St. Nicholas
Komiža, HR
The Church of St. Nicholas of Komiza is part of a Benedictine monastic complex first mentioned in the 12th century. In the 16th century, a church with a single nave was enlarged to the north with a Gothic nave, and in the 17th century, with a central Baroque nave. The high tower on the southern part of the monastery and the whole church dates from the 13th century. It is one of the oldest forts in Dalmatia. Defensive walls were erected along with the towers, indicating that the tower was used to defend the monastery and the church.
