CITY LAPIDARIUM (COLLECTION OF STONE MONUMENTS)

The Rab City Lapidarium has mounted a permanent exhibition presenting its entire collection of stone monuments of cultural and historical importance. Since its opening in 1979, the museum has been housed in the restored St Christopher’s Church from the 14^th century. In addition to the church, the collection of stone monuments is also displayed in the courtyard – garden. The adaptation followed the characteristics of the modest late medieval church architecture of the Dalmatian peripheral area.

The collection provides an insight into the architectural and sculptural heritage of Rab spanning from the Roman times to the Middle Ages to Renaissance and Baroque (from the 2^nd to the early 18^th century), in chronological order.           

The curator of the permanent exhibition is Miljenko Domijan.
