Roman Catholic Diocese of Arbe

The Diocese of Arbe or Diocese of Rab or Diocese of Arba (Latin: Dioecesis Arbensis) was a Roman Catholic diocese located in the town of Arbe (modern day Rab) on the Croatian island of the same name located just off the Adriatic coast of northern Dalmatia, in Croatia, where still stands the former cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of Mary.

History
  • The diocese was Ancient, founded no later than 532, and in the papal sway, originally as suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Salona, later transferred to the ecclesiastical province of the Archdiocese of Spalato (later Salona, then Split, now Spalato-Macarsca).
  • On 17 October 1154 it became suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Zara.
  • On 30 June 1828, while inner Dalmatia was part of the Austrian empire, the bishopric was suppressed by Pope Leo XII's papal bulla Locum beati Petri, along with the Diocese of Ossero, and their territories merged into the Diocese of Veglia or (according to the source) into the Diocese of Krk.[1][2]
