The Church of St. Chrysogonus in Zadar, Croatia, is a Romanesque structure consecrated in 1175 by Archbishop Lampridius, built on the site of a former Roman emporium where it replaced the Church of Saint Anthony the Hermit. Named for the city's patron saint, it survives as the sole remaining component of a substantial medieval Benedictine abbey. The church gained historical significance in 1387 when Elizabeth of Bosnia, the murdered queen dowager of Hungary and Dalmatia, was secretly entombed within its walls; her remains rested there for three years before being relocated to Székesfehérvár Basilica. A bell tower was begun in 1485, but construction ceased in 1546 and was never resumed.
