This church dates back to the 11th Century and includes elements from 400 years earlier. The beautiful ambo on the left comprises of certain parts of the original 6th-century church. The luminosity of the mosaics that adorn the apse and, above all, the image of The Last Judgement on the west wall (which is rumored to be a reconstruction) are incredible.
