Its a single nave edifice, with three bays, a dome based on squinches and an apse which is semicircular on the inside and rectangular on the outside.

Fragments of fresco decoration are still visible, as well as some stone reliefs.
The church bears similarities to the Church of St John (Sveti Ivan) on the Island of Lopud.
