International team of CROMART project members, led by Prof. M. Jurković, has organised a workshop in Bale with a series of discussions and a field visit to the sites of the historic settlement – Bale parish church, its lapidarium where the early medieval sculpture from the monastery complex of St Mary the Great is displayed and the church of St Ilija. The main idea of the event was to display and to discuss the material consequences of a transnational cultural exchange in the early middle ages, primarily the influence of Western Europe in the period of Carolingian expansion on the Adriatic.
