Description
17 c․

12-13 m southwards of the old monastery churches there are later structures with a large three-nave basilica (17.0xll.60 m) in the centre. Its gabled roof is supported by a pair of thick pilasters from the inside. Unlike the old churches of the complex it is provided by sacristies on both sides of the altar apse and a reservoir in the northern wall. The ruins of a little parvis (8.40x7.40 m) and another supplemental building were linked to the western side of the basilica. Neither of these buildings contained any epigraphic inscriptions, thought judging from their constructive and compositional peculiarities they may be definitely dated by the XVII cent.
