Transformations of the historical landscape of the Zadar hinterland from Nin to Biograd from 4th to 11th century

Diplomski rad donosi kataloški pregled sakralnih spomenika građenih između 4. i 11. st. na prostoru zadarskog zaleđa. Uvodna poglavlja bave se geografsko-povijesnim karakteristikama zaleđa kao što su topografija, povijesni okvir, prometna povezanost, počeci kršćanstva i ostaci rimske rezidencijalne i fortifikacijske arhitekture. Cilj rada je izraditi katalog sakralne gradnje, a obrađeno područje je radi lakšeg snalaženja kroz rad podijeljeno u četiri podgrupe: velebitsko podgorje, ninsko područje, Ravni kotari i biogradsko područje. Svaka kataloška jedinica sastoji se od informacija o prijašnjim istraživanjima crkve, njezinoj arhitekturi, skulpturi i dataciji. U zaključku se donosi kratak pregled transformacije prostora zadarskog zaleđa zajedno s opisom nekih otvorenih teorijskih pitanja.Master thesis provides a catalogue overview of sacral monuments built between the 3rd and 11th centuries in the Zadar hinterland. The introductory chapters deal with the geographical and historical features of the hinterland, such as topography, historical setting, traffic connections, the beginnings of Christianity and the remains of Roman residential and fortification architecture. The aim of this paper is to create a catalogue of sacred buildings, and the area processed is divided into four subgroups for easier navigation through the work: the Velebit foothills, the Nin area, the Ravni kotari and the Biograd area. Each catalogue unit consists of information on previous research on the church, its architecture, sculpture and dating. Finally, a brief overview of the transformation of the Zadar hinterland is given, together with a description of some open theoretical issues
