Zadar's Cathedral of St. Anastasia (13th century) was originally an Early Christian basilica, of which only the wall mosaic of two deer beside a cantharus and the foundations of the hexagonal baptistry (5th century) have survived. The recessed portals with pilasters and semi‑circular tympana provide an interesting illustration in their relief ornamentation of the continuity of antiquity into the Romanesque: the tendrils with animals and birds have been copied from a large Roman architrave built into the cathedral’s southern apse (the motif of a boy stealing birds from a nest). The figures of apostles in high relief are from the 12th‑century facade destroyed in 1202 by the Crusaders on their way to the Holy Land. The figures are flattened and the linear quality and stylisation of folds recalls Byzantine ivories and miniatures, which is a common feature of early Romanesque sculpture throughout Europe. The main west portal by Master Radovan (1240) in its wealth of figures and artistic quality is one of the most outstanding works of medieval sculpture in Croatia.
