A Gothic alcove can be seen in the north side of the sanctuary.
Works by John of Aquila have remained in five settlements. Besides Velemér these are Martjanci/Mártonhely, today in Slovenia, Bántornya in Hungary, and Fürstenfeld and Radkersburg in Styria, Austria.
The frescos have worn over the centuries, but among the surviving fragments of the sanctuary the symbols of the four gospels are easily discernable - the lion representing Mark, the eagle John, the angel Matthew, and the oxen Luke. On the north wall of the sanctuary a self-portrait of Aquila himself can even be made out. The window recess of the sanctuary is decorated with floral and herbal motifs. Above is a depiction of the Veil of Veronica with the likeness of Christ.
The threefold circle in the pinnacle of the sanctuary side of the triumphal arch symbolises the Holy Trinity. The image of Christ the Judge is outside the central piece, while the images to the right and left symbolise good and evil deeds. Below and to one side a Calvary scene can be made out, and St Anne with Mary and the child Jesus on the opposite side.
The church dedicated to the Holy Trinity (Szentháromság) and to King St Stephen (Szent István király) is located towards the southeast edge of town, away from the main road. ancient monument hungary temple exterior historic historic exterior ancient temple
