The church of Cyricus and Julitta stands north of Antoki village in Sagarejo Municipality, at a height of about half a kilometre. It is a hall without an apse, laid of cobble on yellowish lime mortar, with the entrance on the south.
A narrow rectangular window is cut in the east wall and an altar table adjoins the wall beneath it, built of cobble with rounded corners. A small rectangular niche is made in the eastern part of each of the south and north walls, and the church is covered by a single half cylindrical vault.
In the late two thousands local people repaired the church by their own means without a design, and the marks of it show: the ruined stretches of wall were made up with cobble, brick and cement mortar, the entrance was closed outside with a brick arch that does not match the building, and the cornice on the walls is gone. A large oak grows nearby with a trunk more than four metres round.
๐ก Tip
- A hall without an apse, a rare solution in village churches
- A repair without a design changed the entrance and the masonry
- A large oak grows nearby, more than four metres round
