Decoration	Transcription is engraved on the back of the main altar of the Parrish church. The altar is placed in a protruding apse. In the central part of the altar is a painting made by Girolamo Pellegrini (1624 - after 1700) with a scene of the Annunciation. The altar is flanked with Corinthian columns that support a semicircular pediment with a central protruding console. The rear part of the altar is made of stone blocks, on which there are two donor inscriptions. The inscription on the south side is transcribed here. Kudiš believes that the altar was modeled after the one of Our Lady of the Rosary from the Paduan church of St. Anthony, work of Baldassare Longhena (1598 - 1682), and Tulić also agrees. He adds similarities with the main altar of the Franciscan church in Zadar and with the former main altar of the church of San Daniele di Castello in Venice, but also similarities with the altars of Giuseppe Sardi and Alessandro and Paolo Tremignon. Arched passages left and right were added to the altar in the mid-18th century. This altar is considered to be the most significant 17th-century altarists work in the Diocese of Poreč and Pula.
