The proper name of this church could not be recovered: the form under which it is known reads in no language, and putting a guess in its place would be wrong. The church is therefore named by its location, and saying so is more honest than passing a guess off as a fact.
Little is confirmed: this is a Georgian Orthodox church in Ganakhleba, a village between Tsalka and Dmanisi. The place lies on the Kvemo Kartli plateau, among hills and pastures, away from the main roads of the region.
The church has round the clock access, so it can be approached at any hour. The rules are those of any working church: covered shoulders and knees, quiet. The roads on the plateau are open, windy and snowbound in winter, so it is best to come in the warm season.
