The frescoes are quite damaged. The XIV century is mentioned as the date of their origin. It is also presumed that several authors did them.

In the southern part of the church there is a portrait of St. Clement depicted as the protector of the town because he is holding a model of the town in his hand. From the more important figures the portrait of the Archbishop of Ohrid Constantiine Cavassila stands out.
