Monastery Monastery

St. Marine's church of Odzisi is a hall church (8.2 × 5.4 m), roughly built of mixed courses of cobble and rubble stone; the sanctuary window surround, the door head and the cornice are of sandstone. The entrance is cut in the western part of the south wall, the door crowned with a tympanum. On the east is a deep apse of box-arch plan, with an arched window on its axis flanked by a small rectangular niche on either side. A similar niche sits above the southern one, at the level of the window arch's crown. Beneath the window, an altar is built against the wall. The apse is covered by a conch whose semicircular arch rests on shelf-like imposts. Besides the sanctuary window there is one arched window each in the south and west walls.
