Church of Our Lady of the Belfry
Church in Split, Croatia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Belltower of the Church of Our Lady of the Belfry (Croatian: Crkva Gospe od Zvonika u Splitu) is a disused Roman Catholic church in Split, Croatia. Built into a small space (an early guardhouse) within the ancient Iron Gate of Diocletian's western wall. Today little survives of the building, apart from the belltower, one of the oldest in Croatia.
