Church of St. Fosca

About

Next to the village of Batvaci (Valmadorso), there is an impressive basilica of St.Foška. Although there are no written records as to when exactly it was built, due to its style of construction, it can be dated to the Romanesque period. Its external appearance is dominated by the floating arcades that surround the façade of the church. The structure is considered an important cultural and historical monument. At the beginning of the 21st century it was thoroughly restored to its original basilica appearance. It contains the most prominent examples of Romanesque wall paintings in Croatia.
