In this Venetian town, the tri-font cathedral facade resembles that of St. Zaccaria in Venice (as did the church of St. Stephen in Stari Grad.) The nearby island of KorÄula provided many of the mason/architects for Hvar's monuments. That was the case here: the facade was worked on by Nikola Karlić in 1541 -- followed by his fellow islander Ivan Pomenić nearly a century later. With its tower, the facade makes the exterior the quintessential Dalmatian church.
