 residential neighbourhood  Add category
A church of the Byzantine period, built in the 14th cent. It was the main church of an unknown monastery. In the Ottoman period of the city's history, it was converted to a mosque, and massive abbatments were added to keep it for collapsing to ruins. They were removed in the period 1958-60, when the building was restored to its original form. A very small part of the original fresco decoration is preserved in the interior.
