In Croatian Romanesque sculpture, there was a move away from interlace to figurative reliefs (for example the reliefs in St Domenica’s in Zadar). Towards the end of the Romanesque period, around 1300, the Istrian workshop of architectural figurative sculpture was prominent, associated with the building of Pula’s town hall. Besides a fork‑tailed mermaid and an expressive "squatting figure" on the corners of the town hall, the products of this workshop include the large figures of the Evangelists on a pulpit in Novigrad, and two figures of saints (Cosmas and Damian) built into the facade of a Renaissance house in Poreč (popularly known as the "two saints" house). These spare and geometric sculptures already display a more naturalistic Gothic style in the details such as the clothing.
