Special Characteristics of Rib-Groin Vaults of Trogir Cathedral

Križno-rebrasti svodovi trogirske katedrale gradili su se stoljećima: svod predvorja, bogat profinjenim detaljima, podignut je u 13. stoljeću, svod bočnih brodova u 14. stoljeću, a svod glavnog broda u 15. stoljeću. Svi ti svodovi imaju geometriju neuobičajenu u gotičkoj arhitekturi Dalmacije. Svodna polja izdužena pravokutnog tlocrta imaju znatno nadvišenje tjemena i zakrivljene tjemene linije. Svod glavnog broda ima i tjemeno rebro poput anžuvinskih svodova - srodnost koja je u ovome članku prvi put elaborirana.Building the rib-groin vaults of Trogir cathedral was a centuries-long process: the narthex vault rich in fine details was built in the 13th century; the vaults of the aisles were built in the 14th century while the nave vault was finished in the 15th century. All these vaults are characterized by a geometry that is by no means typical of Dalmatian Gothic architecture. The vault bays with their extended rectangular plans have considerably raised apexes and curved ridges. The nave vault with its ridge rib resembles the Angevin vaults
