HRASTOVLJE - St. Trinity’s church
St. Trinity’s church (Hrastovlje)
The church was built in 13th century; it is surrounded by quadrangular well-conserved battlements with two round towers dated back to 16th century. This construction was used as a shelter during Turk incursion. The Romanesque church is composed by three naves and it is ended with an apse. The real attractions of this sacral building are the frescos and some Glagolitic inscriptions from 15th century. Frescos depict some sequences of the Sacral texts, for example the origin of the Earth, Adam’s and Eve’s experiences, some stages of the Passion, the work of ordinary people and, the most known part, the Dance of death. The church was decorated by Janez from Kavstva in1490 and it was discovered by the academic painter Jože Pohlen, in 1951. The church is inserted in the list of world cultural heritage.
