Church of Sveta Bogoroditsa
Standing on the ruins of an earlier church, the 15th-century Church of Sveta Bogoroditsa was built below street level, as was required at the time by the Ottoman rulers, and the modest wooden building, set on a courtyard with a giant fig tree, is one of the most picturesque in town. The church contains an exquisite wooden iconostasis, a pulpit carved with bunches of grapes and numerous icons around the walls.

Church of Sveti Georgi
The Church of Sveti Georgi is another colourful, icon-filled church, with a fine painting of St George and the Dragon over the entrance. Be forewarned that the custodians here are rather keen to collect the 1 lv ‘donation’ for admittance from foreigners, and to enforce the dress code (no shorts).
