Architecture
The north, south and east facades of the church are quite simple in design, but the main facade and the interior space include finer, more ornate workmanship.[3] Emulating antique age architecture, the iron ceiling and elaborate apse are noticeable within the interior of the church. The building was placed symmetrically and longitudinally in the east–west direction.[1] It has a single-aisle basilica plan.[1] It has tokens from the Renaissance and Baroque ages, which can be seen in the windows, columns and material that is used.[3] There are many Corinthian columns in the church.[3] The church has three doors: one main door and two side doors.[3] The main door is opened only on ritual days.
