An ancient temple with an interesting history and architecture. Gorgeous views : the temple against the backdrop of the mountains is incredibly beautiful, when you climb the observation tower, it seems that time stops from such views. And when you enter the temple and see the frescoes on the walls, it takes your breath away. The cell of the Mother of God gives the feeling that you are visiting the Mother of God.. you have to see and feel it yourself. I recommend 🙏

An Orthodox cathedral with a thousand-year-old and very complicated history. It is a must-visit in order to appreciate its medieval architectural splendor. Against the background of the mountains, it looks, of course, extraordinary, the very method of laying and building materials attract attention. There is also a well with delicious drinking water on site.

A thousand-year-old (10th century) cathedral church of the Abkhazian kingdom, the residence of the Catholicos (until the 17th century), and also perfectly preserved. Notable changes include the disappearance of stone carvings and other wall decorations after the restoration of the ser. 19th century. Currently, it is inscribed in a minimalistic landscape design and preserved according to European fashion, while preserving everything that is possible in the form we inherited. The place is peaceful and blissful, it leaves a pleasant and strong impression. My family and I arrived at sunset, the temple was open, we talked with my mother, bought jewelry as a souvenir and prayed. You can walk along the upper naves, it is very interesting and expands the impression of the temple. And there's beauty all around
