New Insights on the Church of Our Lady of Kaštel in Zadar

Abstract

Based on the original sources from the Archive of the Zadar Archdiocese on the issue of appointing chaplains for the church of Our Lady of Kaštel (today Our Lady of Health) in Zadar during the early modern period, the author suggests that the silver cover of the painting of the Virgin and Child in the same church was made by Zadar’s goldsmith Antun Budinić in the second half of the 16th century. The paper also addresses the issue of the demolition of the statues of Venetian representatives in Zadar in the context of enlarging the sacristy and restoring the altars in the church of Our Lady of Kaštel at the end of the 17th century.
