Belovo Basilica

Among the sections that are still standing are the north arcade, the south wall of the narthex and monumental west facade.

[3] The church was first described in the 19th century by Bulgarian National Revival enlighteners Stefan Zahariev and Petko Slaveykov, followed by a scholarly description by historian Petar Mutafchiev in 1915.

[4] These were financed by American scholar Thomas Whittemore[5] and carried out by art historian André Grabar.

[1] The chief material employed in the Belovo Basilica's construction were square bricks joined together with mortar.

[3] The western section of the church includes a narthex, which has a baptistery with three semi-domes attached to its south wall.
