Perched on a hilltop in the western side of Assenovgrad, Saint Yani chapel is part of an ensemble of nearby chapels and lends a medieval charm to this part of the town.

A valuable wall painting of Saint John the Baptist dating from 13 - 14 century was recently revealed and restored to be seen from the tourists of tours of Bulgaria.

The chapel is actually inaccessible from north and northwest directions because of its unique location.

It has been built for a first time during 11 - 13 centuries. It is one of the most important national cultural monuments.

The chapel was renovated in 2000.
