The stadium is named after a nearby church.[1] The stadium was named one of the top ten most beautiful in the world by the BBC in 2017.[2] Other media sources such as oddee.com and Copa 90 have also listed the stadium as one of the most beautiful or architecturally interesting stadiums in the world.[3]

The idea for the stadium dates back to the 1950s.[3] Construction started in 1976 in a natural dome in the karst, and the stadium finally opened in 1989. The stadium is close to Lake Modro and an Illyrian fortress.[1]
