Description
The Church in situated in Gornji Matejevac, near the city of Niš.
It is a single-nave building in the shape of a concise elongated inscribed cross (divided into three bays) with a dome. The dome is octagonal on the outside, with four windows. The later added narthex leans against its Western side, and occupies a slightly smaller area than the nave. To the East is a semicircular altar apse, vaulted with a semi-calotte.
The Church got its name 'Latin' in the 16th century when the Catholics (people from Dubrovnik, the Latins) were using it.
