The St. Nicolaus Church is located in the bay Lozica, northwest of the peninsula Rogoznica, in the part called Staro selo or Vecchia Rogoznica. This extraordinary protected monument of sacral heritage dates from the beginning of the 14th century, although archaeologists and historians consider it to be older. The church is oriented in the direction east-west, with a rectangular shaped base, with a semi-circular apse on the east side with distinct Gothic characteristics. A specific attraction is the font positioned outside the church, on the left from the entrance door. Once it served as the parish church for the ancestors of today’s inhabitants, who emigrated from Bosnia around 1301 together with the Franciscans, fleeing from Turkish conquerors, until they moved to the island around 1601. Nowadays holly mass is celebrated in the church on St Nicolaus Day, the o6th December. Around the church is an early Croatian cemetery with uncommon tombstones. On Stećci tombstones with lunar and astral symbols there are also images of tools characteristic for these and nearby regions. Especially interesting is the board with visible traces of an inscription in Latin written in Gothic script which is unusual as well as those with a seven-point star, very rarely encountered both on gravestones and Stećci and on other images.

Crkvica svetog Nikole smještena je u uvali Lozica sjeverozapadno od poluotoka Rogoznice, u dijelu zvanom Staro selo ili Vecchia Rogoznica. Ovaj iznimno zaštićeni spomenik sakralne baštine datira s početka 14. stoljeća premda arheolozi i povjesničari smatraju da je starija. Crkvica je orijentirana u pravcu istok-zapad, pravokutnog je oblika u tlocrtu s polukružnom apsidom na istočnoj strani s izrazitim obilježjima gotike. Posebna je zanimljivost da je škropionica smještena izvan crkve, lijevo od ulaznih vrata. Nekoć je služila kao župna crkva precima današnjih stanovnika, koji su zajedno s franjevcima doselili iz Bosne oko 1301. pred turskim osvajačima, do preseljenja na otok oko 1601.g. Danas se u crkvici služi misa za blagdan Sv. Nikole, 06. prosinca. Oko crkvice je starohrvatsko groblje iz 13. stoljeća s neobičnim nadgrobnim spomenicima. Na stećcima s lunarnim i astralnim simbolima nalazimo još i prikaze alata karakteristične za ove i obližnje krajeve. Posebno je zanimljiva ploča na kojoj su vidljivi tragovi natpisa na latinskom pisanom goticom što je neuobičajeno kao i one na kojima je sedmokraka zvijezda, vrlo rijetko susretanu kako na nadgrobnim pločama i stećcima, tako i na drugim prikazima.
