The Church of the Holy Salvation or Holy Saviour () was a Pre-Romanesque church in the Dalmatian Hinterland, Croatia, whose ruins are now a historic site. It is located in the small village of Cetina, near the spring of the river Cetina, 8 km northwest from the town of Vrlika. The remains of the church are of historical significance in Croatia, as it is the only pre-schism church constructed with a bell tower which is still standing. Description The church was once a one-longitudinal-nave structure with a sanctuary consisting of three apses, in the form of a trefoil on the eastern end. During later reconstruction, the middle apse was pulled down and substituted by a larger, rectangular one. An imposing bell-tower was positioned in front of entrance along with the two-story westwork in front of the church's nave. Westwork is a notable feature of Carolingian architecture, which was at its peak in Europe during the 9th century. The church is vaulted with five pairs of strong semi-circular buttresses and by the tufa which was found in the ground during an excavations. While the first pair of the buttresses lean diagonally against the edges of the westwork, the second pair reinforces the portion of the wall that separates the westwork from the nave, then the next two pairs support the walls of the nave, and the last pair support the side apses. The vaults support a gallery on the western side near the entrance, accessible by a staircase from the north and entering to a platform on the second story. The gallery, believed to be reserved for the Count when he participated in the services, looked down upon the nave through three round openings, the central one being higher than the others. History Medieval times The church was built near Vrlika, called Vrh Rike in the 9th to 10th century. It was dated to the time of Duke Branimir of Dalmatian Croatia through comparative analysis of an altar beam with other artefacts carrying Branimir's name by in 1980 and 1984. It is one of the oldest and best preserved larger monuments of the early pre-Romanesque sacral architecture. It was commissioned as a private church by the local župan (district-prefect) Gastika of Cetina, at the recommendation of Pope Stephen VI, in memory of his family. This is confirmed by inscriptions from a beam taken from the altar, which notes in Latin: AD
