This church was a large, rectangular structure with a double-pitched roof and no dome. Internally, it had a single nave ending in a semicircular apse. The entrance appears to have been on the west elevation. Along the internal north and south walls was an arcade of three bays separated by engaged columns. Arches rising from these columns crossed the width of the nave and supported a barrel vaulted roof. There was a window in the apse, and in at least one bay of the south wall (not shown on the plan below).
Under the nave there was a long, barrel vaulted room. It was partly underground and may have served as a crypt. If it had an external entrance then it would have been on the south facade. Old photographs indicate that a structure was once built against the south wall of the church, perhaps it served as a vestibule to this vaulted room.
Only the north wall of the nave now remains standing. Most of the south wall had collapsed around the year 1840, but the walls of the apse still survived. To consolidate the structure, missing facing stones at the base of the apse were replaced in a restoration undertaken by Nikoli Marr in 1912. The church was in its current condition by the early.
