The church was founded in the late 13th to early 14th century AD and appears to have incorporated an older structure. It belongs to the type of complex cross-in-square church with four columns, featuring a surrounding portico and five domes on the upper structure. It served as the katholikon (main church) of a monastery, though its precise identification remains open to research. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Monument.
