The church was probably built with a wall, but it was strengthened by Leander Zarotus. It is thick and is made out of limestone. It would be hard to determine exactly when the wall was built, but it is estimated that it was constructed some time around the end of the 15th century, therefore definitely later than the church itself. The wall encloses the entire building and only the bell-tower with its cross peek out over the top. It was first built as a defensive measure against the Turks and is shaped like an irregular rectangle.
