PILLARS NAD SMALL CHAPELS IN THE MUNICIPALITIES OF APAČE, GORNJA RADGONA AND SVETI JURIJ OB ŠČAVNICI

Namen diplomskega dela je preučiti in izdelati natančen topografski popis znamenj in kapelic v občinah Apače, Gornja Radgona in Sv. Jurij ob Ščavnici v severovzhodnem delu Slovenije. Nekatera znamenja in kapelice na omenjenem področju doslej v uradnih registrih še niso bila evidentirana in so tako v diplomskem delu prvič popisana. Pri popisu kulturnozgodovinskih objektov sem se opirala na Zadnikarjevo tipologijo, jim določila lokacije glede na kraje in hišne številke ter jih opisala po določeni metodologiji. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se znamenja na izbranem območju delijo v več skupin skladno z Zadnikarjevo tipologijo, in se v grobem razdelijo na znamenja in kapelice. Spoznala sem, da je potrebno Zadnikarjevi tipološki razvrstitvi dodati k skupini kapelice še kapelice z zvonikom ali fasadnim stolpičem. Prav tako se je pojavila potreba, da znamenja v obliki zvonikov zaradi same oblike in uporabnosti uvrstim v podskupino znamenj.The main purpose of my diploma work has been to study and draw up a detailed topographic catalogue of pillars and small chapels within the municipalities of Apače, Gornja Radgona, and Sveti Jurij ob Ščavnici, all in the north-eastern part of Slovenia. Some of these pillars and chapels have not been recorded yet in any official register or catalogue. In my research I have used the typology established by Professor Marjan Zadnikar in his works. The location of the objects of cultural and historical significance has been determined in relation with the nearby settlements and house numbers. The descriptions have been made in accordance with the proposed methodology. I started out with the proposed division of the objects in the designated area into pillars and chapels. However, in the course of research I came across some unusually shaped objects, so I decided to expand the chapel group with two subdivisions: chapels with a bell tower, and those with a façade tower. Furthermore, I decided to include pillars in shape of a church steeple in the pillar group
