0 To Do List

Built of black basalt stone, it has a three-nave basilica plan extending in the east-west direction, with three rounded apses from the inside and outside. There is a "U" shaped narthex with a gallery at the entrance to the west of the building. Lighting is provided by the windows on the north-south and east walls of the building. The naves are separated from each other by four columns. The middle nave is wider than the others. The covering system of the naves is a barrel vault. The seven-section narthex is covered with cross vaults. The roof is covered with stone and is in the form of a hipped roof. Adjacent to the northeast of the building, there is an additional building with a single room, a single apse, and possibly a burial chapel. The inscription reads "Hagia Kryake" and the date is 1848. There is also a wall surrounding the church from the outside and a bell tower in the west corner. The interior decoration of the building consists of frescoes and architectural plastic elements. On the middle nave, there are scenes such as Jesus the pandocrator, the gospel writers, "the gospel" and the baptism of Jesus in other places.
