The village of Boboshtic\u00eb is located at a distance of about ten kilometers south of Kor\u00e7a. It is known for its natural wealth, historical and cultural treasures, traditional cuisine and agricultural products, as well as for its many and beautiful churches.
\nOn a hilltop, at the southern tip of the main road of the village, is located the Monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin. The exact date of construction of the first temple is not preserved, but it is probable that there was a monastery complex with a presence of about a century in this area. A small building, part of the monastic cells, survived from the old monastery, which, during the time of political upheavals, a period of persecution of Christians, was used as a warehouse, as well as the katholikon, a single-aisled basilica, was used as a cattle stable.
\nWe know from sources that in the old temple there were two phases of construction. The older phase included the apse of the Sanctuary and a part of the north wall, about 1.5 meters high. Later, on the existing elements, the perimeter walls were built and a three-pitched roof with a small shed at the western entrance was constructed. The temple did not have particular architectural elements. The construction of the walls of the second phase was poorly done and there were serious damages to the load-bearing elements of the roof, which created a danger for the collapse of the building.<\/p>\n
