Green Velo

In the valley of the Przemyśl Plateau is the beautiful Greek-Catholic Church of St Dimitri, built in 1732. This is one of the few examples of a trigeminal Orthodox church dome.

Three parts of the church – the nave, the women’s gallery and the chancel – were built on a square plan.  The outer walls of the temple are ringed by arcades, supported by stone pillars. After the „Vistula” action, the church was abandoned. In the years 1958-1961, its complete renovation was carried out. The old furnishings were not preserved. In the cathedral (in the Orthodox Church) in Przemyśl, you can admire the surviving icon of St John the Baptist from the 16th century. Today, the church is not used, and because of its priceless cultural value, it’s one of the monuments on the Wooden Architecture Trail. Next to the temple, there are several tombstones, and the area is surrounded by a low stone wall and old trees. The village of Piątkowa is the starting point for the Przemyśl Plateau Landscape Park, with its picturesque wooded hills and rich Carpathian game.
