The Church of Sv. Petar (St. Peter) in Supetarska Draga

In the field at the foot of the Kamenjak hill is situated the Church of Sv. Petar(St. Peter) dating from the second part of the 11th century. It is the only complete remnant of the former Benedictine Abbey which was abolished in 1467.
Two preserved documents which came into being in the span of some ten years, testify to the founding of this monastery. The first one mentions the Rab Bishop Drago, Prior Majus and all the members of the Rab Commune who donated to Abbot Fulkon the Church of Sv. Petar and (Sv Ciprian) in the cove together with the adjoining land in order to establish a monastery. The other document,although its credibility is disputed by modern historiography, testifies to the approval by King Petar Kre{imir IV for the foundation of the monastery. That Charter, which is probably a later copy, contains all the relevant information importand to us for dating the remains of the monastery and the paserved church. It is useful to mention that no trace of the Church of Sv. Ciprian (St.Cyprian) has been left, nor does it appearin the name of the settelment. The monastery was a Distinguished Benedictine center mentioned in a series of documents testifying to the bestowment of privileges, etc.
The remnants of the monastic buildings are today only partially visible in the preserved wall of the south wing with its Romanesque windows. Individual fragments were built into later buildings of the Parish Seat and the Parish Seat and the Village Cooperative, while some have sadly been recently demolished. Its most significant part is the almost completely preserved church.
The form of the church face has all the properties of the High-Romanesque style from the 12th century, clearly shaped like a basilica.
The bell-tower, also with Romanesque features, was level with the facade wall.
The belfry houses the oldest bell in Dalmatia, which was made in 1290 by the caster Luca, a friar from Venice. The other, smaller one is also of interest, cast in 1593 by Master Jakov Caldelarius who also cast the large bell in Rab Cathedral.
The arcitectural elements of the facade described are reminiscent of the High-Romanesque style in Rab and Zadar.
