Zaštitna arheološka istraživanja crkve sv. Filipa i Jakova u Svetom Jurju
Preservative Archaeological Research of the Church of St. Philip and Jacob in Sveti Juraj (St. George)

Summary/Abstract: In this paper the historical analysis of the Cemetery Church of St. Philip and Jacob with new added knowledge gained through archaeological and preservative research is elaborated upon. Through these works have been researched and defined the antiquity architectonical complex of the church, which may have been built in the 13th century. The antique building is solid and in some parts exceptionally well preserved with some examples of representative floor mosaic. We can be sure that there were at least two construction phases which indicate the way of life in the church from the end of the 1st to the 4th century. This is surely the first documented antiquity building of Lopsika, which, alongside other archaeological findings and knowledge of the original antiquity literature, contribute to a better interpretation of the history of the settlement Sveti Juraj (St. George) during antiquity.
