The church has a cross in square plan with a dome. It is composed of the naos, narthex, and the altar alcove. In the church have been skillfully used many byzantine architecture features such as the inner organization of the volume and the decorative and illuminative systems. This features together with the pyramidal shape, forms and proportions give to the church a picturesque view. The Byzantine architectural elements in the church have been combined with western architectural elements belonging to the same period. Inside has two columns with reused capitals that are thought to have been taken from the antique ruins of the citv. In an inscription inside the church has been written the name of closed permanently :( Andronicus Paleologus, who was Governor of the Province of Belgrade (Berat) during 1302-1326. According to this inscription the church must have been built during the XIV century with the financial support of Andronicus Paleologus Asan.

Alright its a very nice church,but faces some real issues. The government and the department of the sports and culture has to something about it . This chuch needs some serious restoration,otherwise all the pictures and everything inside of it will fade away. Im not a religion man,but for the people who believe it’s something difficult and hard to face.

Beautiful but no longer a monument of the state - it is now part of the Orthodox Church. This means that there are some restrictions with clothes and we couldn’t get in as my wife was wearing shorts and the keeper screamed “this is not a disco!”. 1 minute later, a group of older mixed people in shorts and dresses entered the church with no protest from the keeper. I guess the dress code depends on the age? We did not experience this in any other Orthodox Church in Albania.

A beautiful Byzantine church on the rocky Akropolis of Berat. Unfortunately it is locked and it doesn’t seem to have opening hours. Apparently the Greek inscriptions inside the church disturb some people.
