Візантійський храм

The Byzantine church structure features sandstone walls and limestone concrete construction, displaying architectural elements from the medieval period in Crimea.

The church originated during the 7th century when Sudak became a center of Byzantine influence, gaining episcopal status by the early 8th century.

The religious complex transformed from an Orthodox establishment to reflect changing regional powers, including Genoese and Ottoman influences through centuries.

Visitors can examine the archaeological remains within the larger Sudak Fortress complex, which includes detailed architectural elements from multiple construction periods.

The church site contains structural evidence of different religious adaptations, from Byzantine Orthodox to later modifications during various cultural occupations.
