ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
The monastic church of St. Abercius is situated on the seaside of the Gulf of Gemlik, to the east of the village of Kurşunlu. It is dated to the Comnenian period, in the 11th or 12th centuries. Its architectural type is very rare, consisting of a single nave with a broadened sanctuary and a narthex. The central dome has collapsed. The semicircular tympana are still preserved, showing analogies with the Middle Byzantine churches of Constantinople. The church of St.Abercius is one of those churches in Asia Minor, which have never been converted to a mosque. |
