Church "Dormition of the Mother of God " Tsarevo

Overview

Church "Dormition of the Mother of God " is located in the neighborhood "Vasiliko", Tsarevo. The temple was built around 1810 on the high shore of the bay, on the site of an older church. This is evidenced by preserved icons painted by John Zograf of Ahtopol in the years from 1797 to 1805. In its current form, the church dates from 1895. She survived the great fire in Vasiliko at the end of the 19th century. The church is a three-nave pseudo-basilica with one apse. It is built of stone. East of the church "Dormition of the Mother of God" was discovered a large building, which was probably on two floors. The building dates back to the XVI-XVII centuries. Judging by the materials found in it, it can be considered that this building has a military character. It is believed that it also housed the customs office of Vasiliko, where goods were received from other ports of the Ottoman Empire, which came here by sea.
