Description
The Church of St. Nicholas is situated in the vicinity of Skadar. It was erected by the Serbian Queen Jelena Anžujska (ca. 1230-1314) in 1280. It is a three nave basilica with a semicircular apse. For the needs of Orthodox liturgies the altar space received short bays and was raised one step above the floor of the church. Also, a semicircular niche was found in the Northern nave for the needs of the proskomedia. The church was ruined in the 1960s.
