Belyova Church, Medieval Orthodox church near Samokov, Bulgaria.
The church features a nave with an indoor porch, a semi-cylindrical vault, and construction from crushed stone mortar bonded material.
Archaeological evidence reveals three distinct construction phases of the church, beginning in the 5th century through Late Antiquity and medieval periods.
The church interior displays notable murals painted in 1869 by Bulgarian artists Nikola Obrazopisov, Hristaki Zografski, and Dimitar Daskalov.
Located 2 kilometers south of Samokov, the church stands on the left side of the road leading to Borovets ski resort.
During Ottoman rule, the church remained partially buried underground from 1657 to 1712 to protect it from potential destruction.
