Summary/Abstract: The author reports about outward works on the renovation of St. Mary's cathedral facade and roof during 2000 and 2001. Based on his understanding, the nowadays cathedral sacristy was in fact the old, Middle-Ages late Romanesque church of the unknown titular. The church was located on the north side of the cathedral sanctuary along with the old street. The proof for that is the orientation of the church, the ruins of its stone facade and arched ceiling. The author further concludes that during the above mentioned works were not provided reliable art monuments protection and control services either from the city of Senj, the government administration or from the designer and investor. It is supposed that it was the church, which Imija Raduč ordered to be built in 1329. But, in any case it could be definitely proved by due archeological and other researches around, the church and inside the sacristy as well.
