Church "St. John Letni"

The church "St. John the Baptist, better known as St. John the Summer, is located above today's Pchelina Dam. It is small and medieval and was once built for the village of Pchelintsi, which is now under the dam. According to Konstantin Irecek, the church itself was part of a fortress complex, for the existence of which numerous pieces of evidence have been found, but no remains have been preserved.
No donor inscription has survived, but according to the preserved frescoes, scholars date the church to the 15th-16th centuries. Only a few murals have survived, but they also bear traces of encroachment from the 1950s and 1970s. In the early 1980s, conservation was done to preserve the murals. Then some of the murals were taken down and lost.
The church "St. John Summer ”is a small single-nave, built of crushed stone and ore blocks. The entrance is on the west wall, and above it there is a niche with an image of the patron saint of the church.
Due to the specific base, the walls are shallow and are laid directly on the rocks on which the temple is built. The church is richly painted, showing the canonical program of the frescoes.
