On both sides of the stairs are surrounded by almost vertical carved rock that forms the open corridor with a width of 2 m at the beginning and gradually expand hanging. Two niches are carved into its walls and above are semicircular and resemble windows. The church is entirely carved into the rock. It represents a real church with arched triconchal roughly shaped walls. The church has many architectural elements that are characteristic of city buildings.
