Main Church

Erected in the middle of the 19th century, with five domes, three altars and two side chapels. One of the most precious items inside is the gold-plated iconostasis, noted for its wood-carving, the creation of which took five years. The frescoes, finished in 1846, are the work of many masters from Bansko, Samokov and Razlog. The church is also home to many valuable icons, dating from the 14th to the 19th century. Porticos in the courtyard have Mamluk influence with the striped painting and the domes, which became more popular in the Ottoman Empire after the conquest of Egypt.
