This fresco, which has been damaged for the most part, is undergoing an in-depth intervention on materials and structure as part of its return to identity.

According to RDTC Berat, the restoration specialists are carrying out in the last days the process of consolidating the painting film, in the western part of the fresco, in the church of Holy Trinity.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Berat is of the cross type inscribed with a dome. Many features of Byzantine architecture have been skilfully incorporated in the church, which make it one of the most interesting and picturesque monuments in the Castle of Berat.

The church, one of the most visited in Berat, is considered to be one of the most well-constructed and best-preserved among the total of twenty-eight churches in Mangalem. Its construction dates back to the end of the 13th century, confirmed by an inscription on one of the church gates with the name of Andronicus Paleologus, Governor of the Berat province between 1302-1326. The construction is a wonderful representation of Byzantine architecture, where rows of tile and stone are perfectly intertwined. This technique played a crucial role in protecting the object from potential devastating war damages throughout the centuries.
