Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel, Eastern Orthodox church building in Nesebar, Bulgaria
The Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel is a Byzantine church building in Nesebar with a single nave and three apses inside. The structure measures 14 meters long and 5.2 meters wide, following the typical layout of this period.
The building was constructed in 1201 and shows the architectural skill of medieval Bulgaria during a time of transition between the Second Bulgarian Empire and Byzantium. This date marks an important phase in regional construction history.
The outer walls display intricate patterns created by alternating bricks and stones in a checkerboard style, decorated with ceramic rosettes that show the artistic traditions of the region.
The church is located in the northern section of Nesebar's old town and is accessible to visitors exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building has multiple entrances that allow for different ways to explore.
The building has suffered significant roof damage over the centuries, supported by reinforced steel arches that carry the remaining parts of the structure. These modern reinforcements show how historical sites are adapted to present-day conditions.
