Description
Site: Sveto Preobraženje, 15 kilometers northwest of Krusevo, southern slope of Bushova Mountain
Early Christian basilica: A three-aisled basilica with a three-sided apse on the east; highly asymmetric; its length is 11.7 meters. The church is preserved in its foundations. Archaeological research has determined that the basilica did not have a narthex, nor did it have stone sculpture.
Medieval church: Single-aisled small church. Respecting the continuity of the cult site, a newer church structure was erected on the foundations of the three-aisled basilica, more precisely in the eastern part of its central nave.
Dating: between 11th and 14th century
