Grant Description

To support the restoration of the church by stabilizing the structure.

Poor restorations in the past now require a change of the floor and reinforcing the walls in order to re-open two front doors. The Church of St. George became a Christian church in 515 A.D., prior to which it had been a pagan temple.
