There are two churches built of sandstone blocks. The northern church belongs to the late Middle Ages, while the southern one dates from the V-VI centuries.

History
The construction of the church complex took place in 1871, at a time when Georgia was part of our country. And this is also one of the highlights of this temple: it connects the histories of the two countries. Its construction was undertaken within the framework of the program for the restoration of Christian churches in the Caucasus. Initially, the church was consecrated in the name of John the Baptist, but in 1877 the church was re-baptized - it received the name of Saint Nino.
During the communist regime, the church was closed and began to be used as a warehouse.
The return to the ministry took place in 1991. The reconstruction of the temple took a year, during the work the interior, facade and underground passages were restored. And now we see all the beauty of this temple, the beauty that was in the time of our ancestors.
