Medieval Churches with Rectangular Sanctuary in Croatia and in Scepusian Region in Slovakia

The author explores possible similarities of the architecture of medieval churches with rectangular sanctuary in Croatia and the region of Spiš in Slovakia. While the architectural type appeares in the Spiš region almost as a rule, in Croatia there are examples of both types - with rectangular sanctuary and semicircular apse. Since the Spiš region is across the "limes", the influence to the form of the sanctuary might be connected with the pagan wooden architecture. That theory gives us the new possibilities of interpretation of the medieval architecture.
