Temple , Architecture
The Church of the Holy Great Martyr Paraskevia in the village of Stilsko was founded in 1831 next to the new cemetery at the foot of the Stilsko settlement.
Due to a lack of funds, the construction was delayed and was completed in 1843 thanks to the financial assistance of Count Stanislav Skarbek.
The architecture of the temple is an example of the Teresian style characteristic of that time. The church is single-nave, rectangular in plan, basilica type, with a three-tiered tower above the entrance. Above the entrance door, the coat of arms of Skarbek is embossed - as a sign of gratitude for his patronage. A stone arch-bell tower is placed in front of the entrance.
Now Saint Paraskevia Church belongs to the community of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. The temple holiday is celebrated on November 10.

Archaeological site
The ancient Stilsko Settlement (Hillfort) with an area of 250 hectares is located on a high plateau between the villages of Stilsko, Iliv and Dubrova. In the 8th-10th centuries, the capital of the chronicled captives of the White Croats, who are considered the ancestors of today's Galicians, was located here.
White Croatia is mentioned for the first time in the book "On the management of the empire" by the Byzantine emperor Constantine the Red-headed. In 981-992, the principality of the Croats was annexed to Kyivan Rus by Grand Duke Volodymyr Svyatoslavych. Stilsko was destroyed and the level of the city did not rise again. In Byzantine sources of the 16th century, Stilsko is mentioned as the center of the Galician metropolis.
Since 2015, the archaeological sites of Stilsko and its surroundings have been part of the Historical and Cultural Reserve "Stilsko Settlement".
The center of the hillfort with a cubit surrounded by defensive ramparts is located on a hill rising above the church of Saint Paraskeva in the eastern part of the village. The names of the tracts "Golden Gate" and "Prince Well" remind us of the ancient buildings of the settlement.
In the nearby village of Dubrova, there are centers of pagan cults of the Stilsko settlement: the Temple of the Sun (or Sacrificial Stone, Dyriavets) and the cave cult complex of the White Croats. The latter is a rock with hollowed-out caves, in which, probably, the ministers of the pagan cult lived first, and then the Christian monks. Nowadays, local residents have turned the cells into cellars, installed doors, hung locks and store food in them.
Another ancient sanctuary is located in the village of Iliv.
