It is located at the entrance to the old town of the Bulgarian Black Sea resort town of Sozopol. The church was built in 1889 by the renowned Bulgarian master builder Usta Gencho. It was originally built to meet the spiritual needs of Bulgarian refugees from Adrianople (Edirne) and Eastern Thrace, which is why it is popularly known as the "Refugee Church". Since 2011, it has housed the relics of Saint John the Baptist.
