Origin of the Stone Varieties used in the Cultural Heritage Buildings of Lumbarda, Island of Korčula, Croatia
The aim of this paper is to determine the possible origin of the stone
used for the construction in five cultural heritage buildings
dating from the different historical epochs in Lumbarda, on the island
of Korčula, Croatia. Micropetrographic determination of
limestone samples taken from the Roman Villae Rusticae, the old apse of
St Križ Church, the Venetian Tower, the Bishop’s Summer
House and St Barbara Church, was done. For comparison, micropetrographic
analysis on the rock samples taken from two
abandoned quarries near Lumbarda: the Brendana Quarry in Lumbarda and
Gornja Špilja Quarry at Sutvara islet, was also made.
