Summary/Abstract: The church of St. John Vladimir (near Elbasan, Albania) contains a large number of carved stones from a wide lap of time. A survey of the structures and an inventory of those carved elements is in process. First results of this work are presented here. Carved elements offer several indices for the chronology of the site and for the church existed here even prior to the dedication to St. John Vladimir by Karl Thopia in 1380. Evidence goes back to the roman period.
