The 20th century saw a great breakthrough in architectural innovation; however, this was less evident in sacred buildings. The Evangelical Church of A. C. was inherently innovative, which was also ...reflected in the architecture of its churches. The innovativeness of the evangelical denomination can be seen in completely new spatial concepts, morphology, the use of new constructions, materials and building technologies, including modern technical equipment of sacral spaces. This article focuses on two buildings by one architect—Emil Belluš (1899-1979), a doyen of Slovak architecture, whose work significantly influenced the field of sacral architecture of the Evangelical Church of A. C. Innovative contributions can first be seen in the design and later in the construction of two evangelical churches in Nesvady and Senec, in Slovakia, built in the 1950s. The churches were part of a project originally intending to build ten new churches for people who had been resettled as part of the government's post-war migration policy. For several decades, these two churches have remained the last addition to sacral buildings constructed in Slovakia. The article deals with the reasons for the creation of church plans, the socio-political situation of that time, circumstances of their construction, and spiritual ideas and creative contribution of the architect Emil Belluš. The research is based on a detailed study of these temples, their layout, and the use of new technologies, construction principles, morphological elements, and other architectural means in which we seek and define an innovative approach to creation.
Monografija Grad i obred. Zadarska svetišta i njihova liturgija od 5. do 11. stoljeća, autorice Ane Mišković, prva je monografska publikacija u hrvatskoj znanosti u kojoj se ranokršćanska i ...ranosrednjovjekovna sakralna baština nekog užeg područja proučava s aspekta liturgije koja se odvijala unutar crkve, ali i izvan nje, na području cijeloga grada.
Sacral buildings were an integral part of the fortresses, sometimes built on the ruins of older churches and monasteries in the early modern Eastern Adriatic, retaining their titles. Considering that ...there is a representative number of fortresses of high architectural value, the main focus is on the fortress churches and chapels of Šibenik and Split, which are studied based on field, archival, and archaeological research.
Sakralne su građevine bile sastavni dio tvrđava koje su se ponekad gradile na ruševinama starijih crkava i samostana ranonovovjekovnoga istočnog Jadrana, uz preuzimanje njihova titulara. S obzirom na ...to da postoji reprezentativan broj tvrđava visokearhitektonske vrijednosti, u središtu su interesa šibenske i splitske tvrđavne crkve i kapele koje se sagledavaju na temelju terenskih, arhivskih i arheoloških istraživanja.

U radu je prikazano oblikovanje pročelja i zvonika novopodignutih ili obnovljenih crkava u razdoblju baroka u Međimurju, ukupno 28 primjera. Prema smještaju zvonika crkve su razvrstane u tipološke ...grupe pročelja s dva zvonika, pročelja sa zvonikom iznad, zatim pročelja sa zvonikom smještenim uz tijelo crkve – uz pročelje, ispred pročelja ili uza svetište. U ovom korpusu primjenjuju se tipološka rješenja zastupljena u baroknoj arhitekturi kontinentalne Hrvatske, a u analizi su se pokazale i neke specifičnosti. Prije svega zamjetna je gotovo jednako zastupljena prisutnost utjecaja i iz štajerske i iz mađarske arhitekture, vidljiva u dinamiziranim oblicima i dekoracijama, odnosno u raširenoj primjeni klasicističkih motiva. Nadalje, snažno je prisutno isticanje kontinuiteta i »dugog trajanja« sakralne arhitekture prigradnjom novih dijelova na starije crkve, raširena pojava i u drugim srednjoeuropskim regijama u kojima je (bio) prisutan protestantizam. Te značajke uvelike određuju specifičnosti ovog korpusa unutar barokne sakralne arhitekture kontinentalne Hrvatske.
Intenzivna istraživanja spomeničke baštine Rijeke u 18. stoljeću koja se provode u novije vrijeme iznijela su niz novih spoznaja, ključnih za spomeničku baštinu tog razdoblja i omogućila preciznije ...ocrtavanje slike umjetničke djelatnosti u tom gradu. Na temelju tih istraživanja moguće je provesti i stilsku analizu i novu interpretaciju korpusa arhitekture 18. stoljeća, a bivša augustinska crkva Sv. Jeronima, koja je novootkrivenim dokumentima potvrđena kao djelo najvažnijeg riječkog kipara Antonija Michelazzija (Gradišće na Soči, 1707. – Rijeka, 1771.), predstavlja posebno zanimljiv primjer. Barokna obnova gotičke crkve izvedena 1768. godine predstavlja spoj nekoliko stilskih rješenja različitog podrijetla te lokalne tradicije, odnosno primjer je pluralizma stilova zrelog 18. stoljeća. Spoj stilova i utjecaja logična je posljedica smještaja Rijeke na mjestu dodira različitih umjetničkih strujanja, mediteranskog odnosno venecijanskog i onog srednjoeuropskog, koji se očituju i na augustinskoj crkvi. Barokna obnova crkve u radu se razmatra i u širem kontekstu barokizacija srednjovjekovne arhitekture, raširene pojave u 18. stoljeću, u mediteranskom i u srednjoeuropskom krugu.
The hypostyle hall of the Minaean temple Qabḍum in Barāqish (ancient Yathil), dedicated to ʿAthtar dhu‐Qabḍ, is characterised by the presence of four long offertory tables that were discovered in ...situ in an overall good condition. This article presents an analysis of these objects together with their epigraphic material with the aim of better understanding the rituals that may have been connected to them. The topic is also analysed within the complex history of the sacral area of Yathil, as organised and used by the Minaeans, while also taking into account the later and brief intrusion of the Amīr tribe in the pre‐Islamic site. A comparison with the similar hypostyle hall that was uncovered in the nearby temple of Nakraḥ is also offered, as regards the position and organization of the cultic furniture. The presence of differently arranged cenacles in the South Arabian sacral architecture, which may have been associated with a variety of ceremonies, is also briefly discussed. The use of offertory tables according to a liturgic calendar is finally addressed with the study of a new inscription from the same temple of ʿAthtar dhu‐Qabḍ (Y.05.B.B.14).
