The sights of Georgia are not always native Georgian monuments, for example, Tsalka Temple is a Greek architectural work. In the past, the entire town of Tsalka was ruled by Pontic Greeks, and was called the town of Barmaksyz. Later the Greeks left this place, leaving the settlement for the Georgian people. The church is a basilica of three domed towers, the construction dates back to the 6th century. The architecture of the church is an example of traditional Greek construction. The interior of the church is decorated with picturesque icons, columns, frescoes and brick vaults of the domes, and at the foot of the church is a spacious square, there is something to see in Georgia, because the nearby bank of the Tsalka reservoir.
