Explore the byzantine architecture of the Church of Saint John the Baptist. With a vault inside that is seen as a masterpiece of the region’s traditional architecture, the church has been a long-lasting discussion of its true birth. The village elders believed it was built in 1555 while a sign on the door dates the construction 200 years after that. Others say the original church was situated a hundred meters away from the present one, and that it was built in 1536. The church once contained a cross, chandeliers and lanterns that are said to have been a present from Napoleon himself and has been used for their baptisms, weddings, and burials.
