A chapel to St. Elijah was added to the St. Nicholas Church in 1716. The monastery was sacked by brigands at the end of the 18th century, and restored in 1833 as a female monastery. All monastery buildings but the church had to be rebuilt once again after the 1913 earthquake. The original vault and frescoes survive in the western part of the church, but the altar end was rebuilt and expanded in the 19th century, making St. Nicholas the only church in Arbanasi with a dome.
църква „Свети Атанас“
Surrounded by a large church yard that has served as Arbanasi's cemetery for centuries. ("Athanasius" means "immortal" in Greek.) The original frescoes of the main church were completed in 1667, the frescoes of the built-in chapel to St. Haralambos - in 1726.
манастир „Успение на Света Богородица“
The monastery church was built in the 1680s as a parish church of the village, and a chapel to the Holy Trinity was added to it no later than 1704. A monastery was (re)built around the church in the 1710s, and the church frescoes were repainted in 1762. The monastery was sacked in the end of the 18th century and rebuilt as a female monastery in 1836, including the bell tower/dome above the gate.
