Description
The Church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian is situated in Blagaj in Zachlumia, near the city of Mostar.
It was built by Župan Djordje, in the time of Stefan Nemanja, as was written on the dedicatory inscription. The Church has been demolished and torn down but the remains of other Churches built in the Ponikve region (Church of St. George in Sparagovići and Church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian in Metohija), in the late 12th century, we can reconstruct how this edifice looked like.
It was a single nave edifice with three bays and an apse which consists of three niches in the Eastern wall (the one in the middle was rectangular on the outside).
