Church of Saint John the Baptist

The Church of Saint John the Baptist features a stone structure with brick decorations around windows and entrances, measuring 14 meters in length and 10 meters in width.

Built during the 10th century, the church represents a period of religious architecture development when Nesebar experienced substantial growth under the Bulgarian Empire.

The church contains preserved frescoes from multiple periods, including works from the 14th, 16th, and 17th centuries, displaying different artistic styles through generations.

The church structure includes four central columns supporting a dome, with two separate entrances positioned on the northern and southern sides of the building.

The building earned the designation 'aliturgetos', meaning not consecrated, following the death of a construction worker who fell during its building process.
