The church of Mali Sveti Vraci

d7.JPG (17429 bytes)The church is located in the immediate vicinity of the church Ss. Constantine and Helen. It's shape is that of one-nave. At the time it was built (unknown) it used to have semi-circled vault that do not exist today.

The frescoes are quite damaged. The XIV century is mentioned as the date of their origin. It is also presumed that several authors did them.

In the southern part of the church there is a portrait of St. Clement depicted as the protector of the town because he is holding a model of the town in his hand. From the more important figures the portrait of the Archbishop of Ohrid Constantiine Cavassila stands out.

The distinctive feature of the church is the oldest preserved wooden iconostasis that dates from XIV century. Above the iconostasis there is a cross with the scene of the "Crucifixion" that presumably was made rather late, in the XVII century.

In addition, there are also a number of icons dating from various periods.
