Description
The Church of Sts. Cosma and Damian (also know as the Church of St. Tudor and Sts. Philip and Jakob) is situated in Metohija (Prve Ponikve), near Ston. Today, the Church is dedicated to St. Philip and Jacob, a dedication first mentioned in the 16th century.
Its a single nave building divided by lesenes into two bays. Bays are vaulted with cross-domed vaults. On the Eastern end of the Church were three niches. Today the central niche (which was the deepest and which ends in apse) has been walled up. Shallow apse is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside. The Western façade is not known due to the addition of a more recent corpus on that side (probably in the 16th century when its dedication was changed).
