Sukhumi Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the most spiritual places in the capital of Abkhazia. The cathedral is made in the neo-Byzantine style. The temple was built in 1909-1915, and its architecture harmoniously combines the traditions of Russian and Byzantine church architecture. An atmosphere of reverence and peace reigns inside the cathedral. The interior is decorated with beautiful icons that create a sense of spiritual grandeur. The iconostasis, made with great skill and love, attracts special attention. The cathedral has a rich history and has always remained a place of prayer and spiritual support for believers, especially in difficult times. Divine services are held regularly in the cathedral, and the atmosphere during the services is very warm and prayerful. The choir sings beautifully, which adds a special solemnity. The cathedral is located in the center of Sukhum, close to the embankment and other attractions. This makes it convenient for both locals and tourists to visit. Sukhumi Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a place where you can relax, enjoy the beauty of architecture and feel connected to history. I highly recommend you to visit! 🙏

A very old Orthodox Cathedral. Ancient icons, painted walls. A blessed place. They sing in Russian and Abkhaz. They are praying for our Patriarch Kirill there!
