Elementi za arhitektonsku rekonstrukciju kraljevskog mauzoleja u Banjskoj, Kosovo

The royal mausoleum in Banjska originally built between 1313 and 1317 as a romano gothic single nave basilica with the facades made of blocks of three kinds of polished stones and with the rich architectural sculpture on the portals heavily suffered very early and for a very long time was used as a quarry. Only the ruins of the mausoleum were visible until the protective works in 1938, which practically blocked any further architectural research because the original walls of the Mausoleum remained overbuilt with the latter walls. Until 2007, the Mausoleum was never properly excavated and the numerous fragments of the sculptures scattered in various museums and in the monastic complex itself were never catalogised (some were lost meanwhile) and this paper for the first time presents the reconstructions of the architecture and sculpture of the mausoleum.Kraljevski mauzolej u Banjskoj, sagrađen između 1313. i 1317. godine, teško je nastradao veoma rano te je kroz dugo razdoblje služio kao kamenolom. Zaštitne radove 1938. godine dočekao je uglavnom kao potpuna ruševina. Sagrađen je po uzoru na romaničko-gotičke bazilike s pročeljima od tri vrste ukrasnih kamenih blokova i raskošnom plastikom na portalima. Spomenutim zaštitnim radovima istraživanje i arhitektonsko snimanje mauzoleja praktično je onemogućeno pošto su mu izvorni zidovi ostali nadograđeni. Do 2007. godine u mauzoleju nisu izvršena sustavna arheološka iskopavanja, a brojni ulomci skulpture nikada nisu katalogizirani. Dijelom se nalaze u muzejskim zbirkama, dijelom su ostali na samom lokalitetu, a ima i primjeraka koji su izgubljeni. Ovaj rad po prvi put donosi rekonstrukcije arhitekture i skulpture mauzoleja u Banjsko
