"St. George" is a church-tomb, which served this larger rock monastery in the Gradishteto area. Today, only 2 niches carved into the walls and two burial chambers carved into the rock on the floor have survived from the tomb.

There are carved rock niches in the rock next to the monastery, which suggests that the place has been used since ancient times as a sanctuary and for religious rituals.

The name St. George comes from an inscription in Greek, which is most likely from the XVIII-XIX century and where the name of the saint is mentioned.

There is a picnic site on the meadow in front of the monastery, with benches and a table. Two spring water is fountains are in a radius of 300 meters.
