History
The church was built in the Middle Ages. Excavations uncovered an early Christian church, which was tentatively dated to the 4th to 5th century AD. Although some of the walls have survived up to a height of 3 meters, the church plan was unclear. [3] The church walls are in a heavy physical condition and need urgent conservation.
