The Church of Croatian Martyrs (Croatian: Crkva hrvatskih mučenika) is a Roman Catholic church in Čavoglave, Croatia. The church was designed by Gorana Banić and Emil Šverko (between 2003-07).

History

The cornerstone for the church was laid in 2004 by Monsignor Ante Ivas, bishop of Šibenik. Croatian singer Marko Perković, who was born in Čavoglave, helped fund the construction of this church. It was completed in 2010. On 9 October of that year the church bells were dedicated by Msgr Ivas. The church has three bells, which were cast in workshop "Grass Mayer" in Innsbruck.

The first bell, weighing 450 kilos, is dedicated to Aloysius Stepinac. The second bell, weighing 250 kilos, is dedicated to Saint Elijah. The third bell, weighing 130 kilos, is dedicated to Saint Michael and Saint Benedict.[1]
