The Church of Serkis and Bacchus has stood in the heart of Qara since the Byzantine era, preserving rare frescoes that depict the two martyred soldiers. Inside, a single rectangular hall dominated by an apse adorned with a winged cross is illuminated by light filtering through small lateral windows, creating a striking contrast with the colours of the frescoes. A Greek inscription dated 931 AD bears the name ‘Anastasius’, confirming the town’s episcopal role at that time.
