Abstract
The iron cross of Dvigrad is one of the few preserved early-medieval liturgical objects made of base metals. It was found in the ruins of the presbyterial part of the hall church of St. Sofia. In the following text it will be seen in the connection with similar finds of iron crosses in northern Italy and southern Germany, and it will be compared with tipologically similar examples presented on some of the early-Medieval monuments (both in sculpture and painting). The cross is supposed to prove the earliest Carolinigian presence on Istrian soil, that occurred just a few years after the definite fall of the Lombard state in the year 774.
