The Church of the Virgin in the village of Modrište in the Poreče district with its original architecture, conception of the internal space, painted programme and unusual iconographic solutions, ranks among the more interesting churches erected by the nobility in the third quarter of the fourteenth century. The features of its programme and artistic style suggest that its frescoes date from between 1360 and 1380. According to the results of his analysis, the author considers that one should rule out the possibility of identifying this church with the Monastery of Modrič, which is mentioned in sources at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
