Built in the 16th century, the dating is confirmed by the inscription of the painting in 1591 on the North gate. However, archaeological excavations in the apse of the church revealed that its walls belonged to the 11th century. It is locally known as the Church of St. Koll, or Nicholas. The church has a rectangular plan consisting of the naos, the narthex, and the three-sided apse. Originally, the object had three communication parts, but now only one functions. All three gates are covered with wooden architraves. The church also carries an important element of early Christian architecture: the reused capital of the altar for religious services.
It was painted by Onufri the Cypriot. In the upper part, under the construction of the roof, a frieze of prophets is depicted. In the second row of frescoes, Gospel scenes are painted, and in the next row, martyrs and apostles are depicted.
The fresco requires restoration intervention as it is in poor condition.
Unearthed side naves bear the names of various saints: on one side is St. Anastasia, and on the other is St. Athanasius.
**Note:** The church is open from May to October, from 09:00 to 17:00. There is no entrance fee; donations are welcomed.
