Dalmatia, the Quarnero and Istria, with Cettigne in Montenegro and the island of Grado . Aqvileja Ch.

The pointed arches of the nave arcades, which. have taken the place of the round ones once borneby Poppos columns and capitals, are probably thework of Patriarch Markquard of Randeck, whoremodelled the church between 1365 and 1381,after its partial destruction by earthquake in 1348 or 1360.
