The Church of the Holy Virgin Assumption was built between at the end of the 10th century on the slopes of the Baba Mountain, near the village of Velushina. (The village is 10 kilometers south of Bitola, near the border with Greece). The architecture of this small mediaeval church is similar in style to that typical of the regions of Kastoria and Florina in Greece. Some very interesting features of the layout of the church are found also in several other Byzantine religious buildings from the ninth–eleventh centuries, such as the Monastery of Chora in Constantinople, St. Sophia in Thessalonica, and the Church of the Dormition of the Holy Virgin in Labovo (Albania). At present the building is crumbling, and the roof is seriously damaged.
