The church itself, originally built without any frills, was used to appeal to God. The lack of luxurious decoration did not violate, but only strengthened the humility of the worshippers, forcing them to think about the eternal. For the construction of the church building in Moliti, lime mortar and hewn gray basalt were used. For connoisseurs of the ancient architecture of Georgia, the building of the temple in Moliti will be interesting because it has only one southern entrance.
Upon careful inspection of the church in Moliti, it can be found that attempts were made to strengthen the walls. However, they did not lead to anything.

It is located on the north side of the building.
