From
The Church of the Holy Cross called „the smallest cathedral in the world“ is the most valuable preserved monument of early Croatian religious architecture and one of Nin's symbols. By its position and beauty it dominates the area where it stands. It was built in the 9th century, in the Early Christian period. It is the only religious object in Nin which has remained untouched since its construction to date. It is 7.80 m long, 7.60 m wide, and 8.20 metres in height (inside measures) and the walls are 57cms thick. It was built on the remains of ancient houses which are visible even today. During the reign of Croatian Kings it served as a Court chapel for the nearby Duke's Court. A number of medieval graves were discovered around the church.
This small church, thanks to the position of its windows and the angle of the fall of light is a kind of calendar, and according to the sun 's rays, the exact date of the equinox and solstice can be determined, which on the first day of summer is the start of an interesting event called „The Festival of Sun and Light“.
Spellbound by its beauty, the famous English architect Thomas Jackson, called it „the smallest cathedral in the world“.
From Wikipedia
Church of the Holy Cross (Croatian: Crkva svetog Križa) is a Croatian Pre-Romanesque Catholic church originating from the 9th century in Nin.[1]
According to a theory from an art historian Mladen Pejaković,[2] the design has an intentionally unbalanced elliptical form designated to follow the position of the Sun, retaining the functionality of a calendar and sundial.[2] In its beginning, in the time of the Croatian principality, it was used as a royal chapel of the duke's courtyard nearby.[2]
The church is that of a central type, it features the Croatian interlace (or simply troplet) and a carved name of the Croatian župan Godečaj.[2][3]
The church is known under the moniker of the smallest cathedral in the world,[1][4][5] but it does not actually contain the seat of a bishop of Nin today.

Equinoctial Sunlight projections at the church of Sveti Križ in Nin (Croatia)
This is a time-lapse footage of sunlight projections on the vernal equinox. It has been recorded in the church of Sveti Križ in Nin (Croatia), on 2019-03-20 A.D..
Sunlight projections of all three apsidal windows are illuminating distinctive corners of the church and moving afterward in a straight line across the floor. This visual phenomenon occurs exclusively on vernal and autumnal equinoxes.
The vernal equinox is thus marked – by means of sunlight – as a reference day for the determination of Easter.
The phenomenon has only recently been numerically predicted and observed by scientist Držislav Sikirić, although it has been recurring for more than a thousand years.
It is considered that such a phenomenon is a consequence of a deliberate and purposeful construction of the pre-romanesque, early mediaeval, old croatian church of Sveti Krizh, carried out by an unknown, ingenious builder in the 9th century.

Nin - Croatia (Horvátország)
Egy sekély lagúna közepén elterülő szigeten fekszik. Alagúnában számos sólepárló működik. A városkát hidak kötik össze a szárazfölddel. Horvátország, azon belül Dalmácia történelmének számos emlékét találjuk az illír-liburnok által alapított helyen, melyet a horvátok honfoglalásuk után hamarosan birtokba vettek. Királyi várat építettek, püspökséget alapítottak. A 10. században Grgur (Gergely) püspök székhelye volt, aki sikertelen küzdelmet vívott szláv népnyelv egyházi használatáért. Grgur püspök zsinatokat szervezett székvárosában, de a pápa hajlíthatatlan volt, a latin nyelvű liturgia még közel ezer évig megmaradt.
A püspök emlékét, a településen szobor őrzi.
A Sv. Kriz (Szent Kereszt)-templom a 11. században épült, a legkisebb katedrális nevet kapta a művészettörténészektől. Az egykori római fórumon álló Sv. Mihovil (Szent Mihály)-templom 9. századi eredetű.
A városkában a templomokon kívül a római kortól a 17. századig terjedő időszak számos műemlék épülete és épületmaradványa érdemes megtekintésre.

Bajkovita Hrvatska - Šibenska katedrala (Katedrala Sv. Jakova)
Sibenik Cathedral
The Cathedral of St. James (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Jakova) in Šibenik, Croatia is a triple-nave basilica with three apses and a dome (32 m high inside) in the city of Šibenik, Croatia. It is the church of the Catholic Church in Croatia, and the see of the Šibenik diocese. It is also the most important architectural monument of the Renaissance in the entire country. Since 2000, the Cathedral has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is often mistakenly known as St Jacob's, because Croatian, like many other languages, uses the same name for both James and Jacob. It is dedicated to Saint James the Greater.
Inside the cathedral there are four large, evenly matched columns on which the dome rests. The builder decorated the capitals and came to arrangements with the nobles who were to finance the building of chapels, on condition that they would be free to choose their own builders.In the first chapel on the right-side, there is the sarcophagus of the bishop, humanist and writer Juraj Šižgorić (1420-1509) which is the work of Andrija Aleši based on a design by Juraj Dalmatinac. Aleši also created the statue of St. Elijah which stands behind the bishop's throne. On the left-hand side is the sarcophagus of Bishop Ivan Štafilič, during whose life the cathedral was completed. Beneath the choir there are the graves of two bishops, which reliefs: on the right Bishop Calegari and on the left, Bishop Spingarola. The latter is the work of the local artist Antun Nogulovič.
Opposite the famous Altar of the Holy Cross (Sveti Križ) made by Juraj Čulinovič (Giorgio Schiavone) is buried (1433 or 1446-1505). On the altar there is a painting by Felipe Zaniberti. Amongst other altars to the left of the entrance is the Altar of the Holy Three Kings with a painting by Bernardo Rizzardi, according to the ground plan of Juraj Dalmatinac. The fragments of the mosaic of the Holy Three Kings in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice are now in the Museo Marciano in Venice. The sides of the altar are decorated with reliefs of two angels holding the scroll of Nikola Firentinac, set into shell-shaped niches. The Cathedral Treasury includes works by the Renaissance master Horacije Fortezza of Šibenik (1530-1596), an exceptional goldsmith and miniaturist.
After Fiorentino died in 1505, the construction was finally completed in 1536 by two other craftsmen, Bartolmeo of Mestra and his son Jacob, completely following Nicholas' instructions. The cathedral officially became consecrated in 1555 after a multitude of Venetian and local craftsmen had worked on it, in Gothic style. Most of the restoration was done between 1850 and 1860 and subsequently between 1992 and 1997.
The dome of the church was heavily damaged by the JNA-supported Serb forces during the shelling of Šibenik in September 1991. Within years it was quickly repaired with no damage visible. It is interesting to note that this cathedral has no bell-tower. A tower on the adjoining city walls served this purpose.
The building of the church was initiated in 1402, though plans on its construction had already begun in 1298, when Šibenik became a municipality. The actual work to transform the older Romanesque cathedral began in 1431. Built entirely of stone (limestone from a nearby stone quarry and marble from the island of Brač), it was completed in three phases, from 1433 to 1441, when the Grand City Council entrusted the work to local and Italian masters Francesco di Giacomo, Lorenzo Pincino, Pier Paolo Bussato, Bonino da Milano, and Giorgio da Sebenico (Juraj Dalmatinac) and to Croatian ones Andrija Budčić and Grubiš Šlafčić.
