Opis
Today's church of St. Marina in Mošćenička Draga, located near the municipal building, about a hundred meters from the sea, was built in 1886. The single-nave church is rectangular in shape, measuring 9.64 x 6.10 m with a smaller and lower annex at the back (sacristy) measuring 4.04 x 1.50 m. The church was built of local stone and Mošćenice marble from the quarry in Potoki. Lime plaster was used as binder. The church façade has a miniature entrance portal on four pillars which ends at the top with a transept with two bells. It has a beamed gable roof construction covered with roofing tiles. The sacristy has a three-pitched roof. To the left and right of the entrance, there are two smaller square windows, on the side façades there are two biforium-shaped windows and there is one smaller square window on the sacristy. On the marble altar there is an altarpiece depicting St. Marina by Ivan Bastijan from 1885. In the historical-medical context, the images of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus, St. Lucia, a painting depicting St. Nikola Tavelić and the statue of the Mother of God of Lourdes should be highlighted among the inventory. Today's appearance of the church confirms its age and certain architectural elements in the church structure take us back to the time of Romanticism and Gothic. Mass is served in this church every Sunday.
