The church comprises a naos, an altar, a women's section and a chapel of St. Paraskeva. It was constructed in several stages which lasted for two centuries.

The naos of the church was built and decorated with the resources of one of the most respected Arbanassians, Hadji Niku Kultukli and his wife Kiriaki, in the first half of 17th century. The two donors and their children are portrayed in the naos of the church. Their graves were found during archaeological excavation work and remarkable findings came out. This part of the church was painted by two artists. One artist was an eminent portrayer with an exceptionally subtle and profound psychological approach, and was a skillful master of the multi-figured composition. The other artist was obviously drawn by close-ups, having a very creative and fruitful insight and being under West-European artistic influence.

The frescos in the women's section were made in 1760 by two artists - Michael of Thessaloniki and Georgi of Bucharest. They followed the best examples in the then Orthodox religious art. At the same time the decorative pattern reveals a clash between the traditional iconographic rules and the personal artistic outlook upon life necessitating new devices, a conflict characteristic of the time. The wood-carved iconostasis was made in 1813 and the icons are typical of the Tryavna Artistic School.
