Architecture of the Churches Dedicated to St. Hieronymus in Slovenia

Abstract

The article discusses the architectural features of the churches, dedicated to St. Hieronymus. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics in which their association with the patron can be identified. The research is set in two steps. The first refers to the identification and classification of the common characteristics of the churches in question, the second to their confrontation with the architectural archetypal matrix of the sacred, as their unique dimension. The comparison shows the richness of architectural archetypal elements in these, at first glance, modest architectures. The goal is to show the often overlooked richness of noble simplicity.
