The most important and best preserved of the churches in Arbanasi. The original frescoes were completed in 1597. An additional narthex and a chapel to St. John the Forerunner were added later, complete by 1632. The church was a part of a complex that used to hold the seat of the metropolitan bishop of the large Veliko Tarnovo see.
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.
