Summary[edit]

Description

The Church of the Assumption, built in 1689, has richly decorated façades with the fine relief carvings featuring human, animal and floral images, including a carved north entrance. It also contains the remains of beautiful frescoes, although a vast number of them were whitewashed on the orders of the Russian Emperor in 1779.

The chained lion symbolises pagans who converted to Christianity.
