 A small swastika and a cross on the eastern wall are the only items in the exterior that show that the small stone building is a religious temple.The frescoes were cleaned up and partially restored in 1974–1978, and the church is a national monument of culture, as well as one of the 100 national tourist attractions.The other church, the Church of the Purification of the Virgin, is a richly decorated Bulgarian National Revival work on the opposite side of the road dating to 1860.
