Srbanes Chapel of Achajur

Saint John’s Chapel, locally called Srbanes, dates to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It belonged to a medieval settlement in the Srbanesi Yal area of Achajur, near a fortress on a wooded mountain.

Traces of wall painting are recorded on the south wall. They show that the interior of the stone chapel once included painted surfaces. Only fragments survive, and the original composition can no longer be reconstructed from them.
