The church of Cyricus and Julitta stands on a high mountain about five kilometres north of Nakhunau village in Martvili Municipality. The road here is hard going and worth reckoning with in advance. The church is active and services are held in it.
The building consists of a sanctuary and a hall under a gabled roof, laid of mixed local stone. There are three entrances, on the west, south and north. One narrow window on the west, two on the south and three on the east give the light.
Two stones deserve particular attention. A stone cross is set into the east wall, and a large stone architrave with images of saints lies above the west door. Sources assign the building to the 19th century, and in the present century the church was fully restored.
