Geocache Description:


Ostaci crkve Svetog Andrije (Svetog Jandre) vrlo su stari. Istraživanja iz 1992. godine pokazuju da je crkva sagrađena u 6.stoljeću u Justinijanskom razdoblju no ispod su ostaci još starijeg objekta koji je u 4.stoljeću bio ranokršćanski oratorij.

Tlocrt je romboidan te ima tri polukružne i odvojene apside. Vanjsko lice srednje apside je sedmerostrano.  Pronađeni su ostaci dekorativnog i konstruktivnog antičkog kamenog crkvenog namještaja. Također i desetak keramičkih ulomaka iz kojih bi se moglo rekonstruirati posuđe.

Nalazila se na području luke antičke Aenone (Nina) . Porušena je u 16. stoljeću za vrijeme Turskih osvajanja.

 

The remains of the church of Saint Andrew (Saint Jandra) are very old. Research from 1992 shows that the church was built in the 6th century in the Justinian period, but underneath are the remains of an even older building that was an early Christian oratory in the 4th century.

The floor plan is rhomboid and has three semicircular and separate apses. The outer face of the central apse is seven-sided. Remains of decorative and constructive ancient stone church furniture were found. Also a dozen ceramic fragments from which dishes could be reconstructed.

It was located in the area of ​​the port of ancient Aenone (Nin). It was destroyed in the 16th century during the Turkish conquests.
