Church of Christ Zoodotes (Kisha e Ristozit) is a small cross-in-square type of church, which is distinguished for its monumentality and its commemorative character. The church has a nave, an altar space and a narthex, the original design probably featuring a domed narthex. The interior of the nave is decorated with mural paintings, which are among the most interesting monuments of Late Palaeologan painting in the region. Based on the iconographic similarities with the church of Virgin Eleousa in Maligrad - Prespa (1369) and of St. Athanasios Mouzaki in Kastoria (1383) it is stated that they were decorated by one and the same art atelier. The church constituted a private foundation of bishop Nimphon, represented performing the act of donation in the southern wall of the church and which probably belonged to the episcopate of Diabolis. The church was constructed during the time of the control of this territory by the Muzaki family, sebastokrator John and desport Theodor Muzaki in 1389/90. The paintings of the narthex and façade decoration date probably from the 17th century.
