Sažetak
The preserved early rib-vaults in Croatia belong to the period of experimentation with a new structural element, diagonal arches, which opened the path to the Gothic rib-vault. Like in other European regions, the first rib-vaults built in Croatia at the beginning of the 12th century are characterised by massive diagonal arches, rectangular in cross section. The geometry of the vaults ranges from hemispherical dome with diagonal arches to rib-groin vault with horizontal ridges ; from unusual combination of progressive elements within traditional form of vaulting, to the original solution of rib-groin vault with horizontal ridges in the bell-tower in the Benedictine convent of Zadar. The construction of the vault in the Zadar bell-tower, begun in 1105 and completed by 1111, is documented by the original donor’s inscriptions which makes it one of the earliest precisely dated rib-vaults in Europe.
