The Archaeological Research of the Njive–Ivandol Locality as a Tribute to the Study of the Mediaeval Period in the Po？ega Valley

Sa？etak The paper presents the results of the research of the rotunda made of dressed stone, which was discovered in Njive–Ivandol, a mediaeval locality in the Po？ega County dated back to the Romanesque and the Gothic periods. It is presumed that the location of the rotunda was the former mediaeval estate of Odolja, which belonged to the grandson of Vice-Roy Bori？, whereas in the 13th century, it was a property of the Knights Templar. The paper furthermore offers a survey of other rotundas in Croatia, as well as several examples from Europe, comparing thereby the frequency of the erection of this type of sacral buildings in the territory of Croatia in the time span including the High and the Late Middle Ages
