Church St. Spas, 14th century


The church of the Holy Savior is located on the left bank of the Otinja River, on the road to Novo Selo. Standing on a flat rock, it draws attention with its small dimensions and peaceful beauty.

The church has one dome and it is assumed to have been built by the duke Dimitar in 1369. The fresco ensembles from the 14th Century have not been saved. The second painting inside the church is from 1601 done by the fresco painter Jovan, who put his signature in Greek.

Around the church there is a necropolis with graves from different times.
