Font Notes:
An octagonal baptistery on the south side of the present church [Crkva sv. Martina] and a hexagonal baptismal font located in its centre are noted and illustrated in Ana Mišković (2015) ["Successivamente, in epoca giustinianea, due semplici chiese tricore hanno ricevuto un gruppo di costruzioni quadrilateri edificato tutt’intorno alla navata longitudinale. Questi ambienti annessi alla chiesa principale servivano alle diversi funzioni liturgiche. In uno di questi ambienti in entrambi i casi si è interpolata la piscina battesimale così che uno di annessi funzionava come il battistero. Proprio in quel periodo le chiese in Pridraga e Bilice hanno ricevuto l’arredo liturgico che è stato trovato in diversi scavi archeologici"]. Noted and illustrated also in Rotondas [https://plantacentral.wixsite.com/home/croacia-pridraga] [accessed 10 May 2024]: "Krstionica, 501-600 (Baptisterio), Pridraga, Croacia [...] En el lado sur de la iglesia se encuentran los restos del baptisterio. La planta es octogonal con ábside semicircular al oeste. En el centro se encuentra la piscina bautismal de forma hexagonal. En el lado norte se encuentra una puerta de acceso. Posteriormente se conectó el baptiserio a la iglesia mediante una habitación."
