The ruins of the hall church in Tsopi village in Marneuli Municipality have kept a small hall volume of about ten metres by six, with a partly covered porch and a semicircular apse on the east.
Parts of the south and north walls of the apse survive in fragments, and several blocks shaped for the conch survive among the stones, hewn from shirimi, the local volcanic tuff. Traces of another structure are visible at the northwestern corner.
Several fragments of relief stones, khachkars, lie beside the ruins, and old gravestones stand by the walls. The same village holds the ruins of the main hall church, much larger and earlier, so both churches can be covered in a single visit.
💡 Tip
- Blocks shaped for the conch, hewn from local shirimi tuff
