|
CHURCH St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel (13th century) is one nave, cruciform with a narthex. Its dimensions are 13.90 X 5.30 m. There was a dome and in the west a rectangular tower, setting up over the narthex. A stone stairway, hidden in the west wall of the church leads to the tower. The temple has three doors – one on the northern wall towards the nave and two doors towards the narthex.
