On top of the hill, as the name says, sits the church, with a long and interesting history. Fully restored, and next to the school. Beautiful views of the city. The stairs up are the highlight and there a small cemetery next to it, with tombstones dating back several centuries

A short stroll across the river and well worth a visit. The paintings inside are stunning. This church is frequently used for worship, but you can go inside if there is a service going on, as long as you are respectfully dressed. Also, photos should t really been taken inside an Orthodox Church because they are not there as tourist attractions, but places of worship.
