| | POVLJA - POVLJA LINTEL |
 | | For the lintel of that door, the Croatian stonemason Radonja, possibly from Trogir, chiseled a stone slab and engraved on it using Croatian Cyrillic script, a text about the return of estates to the monastery (see the Povlja Charter.) |
 | | This lintel, known today as the Povlja Lintel, forms a significant part of Croatian history: it is a metaphor of a certain place and time denoting possession. |
 | | This lintel, it's significance, forgotten, had for an incredibly long time, served as a humble stone seat in front of the church and then later one of the neighbours used it as a lintel for the wine-cellar door of his house near Lokve. |
