Church of St. John the Baptist (10th Century)

Highlight • Religious Site

A cross-domed church with three altar niches and a narthex (portico). Its total length is 12 m and its width is 10 m. The structure consists of a cross vault with a drum dome on top.

The building is constructed of river stone and rubble, and the facades were probably smooth plastered.

The church dates back to the 10th century.

Church of St. Spas (Church of the Holy Saviour)

Highlight • Religious Site

A single-nave church with a gabled roof and an apse. It was built and painted in 1609. At that time, the eastern part of the church was half-sunk into the ground. The church is dedicated to the Ascension of Christ. Particularly valuable are the preserved wall paintings, whose subjects depict scenes from the lives of Mary and Christ. For centuries, the tombstone of the Byzantine princess Mataissa Kantakuzena Palaiologina was embedded in the church floor.
