This church dates from the 12-13th century and it is located within the fortified grounds of the Asen's Fortress and is also its best preserved structure. The ground floor was designed as a crypt and is nothing special. Some remains of 8 centuries-old murals are on the second floor. There are some info boards as well but in Bulgarian only (guide books and other materials in different languages are available at the ticket booth). The church was destroyed several times in the past, including a destructive earthquake in 1928, but was always restored.

Lovely frescoes at the entrance welcome one to the grand place of worship. Contributing to the grand facade, in addition to the elegant and ornate white tower belfry. Richly embellished, the interior is striking. A marvellous iconastasis is the divider between the between the priest and congregation. Gilt and paintings make it an awe inspiring sight. Predominantly in a dark azure hue, the lined ceiling has some holy images and impressive suspended lighting.

Sveta Marina is not an ordinary Orthodox church. It creates a very "light" feel both externally and internally, Decorations may not be traditional, but very inspiring. Great place to visit regardless your religious beliefs.
