The chapel of Surb Hovhannes stands in Poka village in Ninotsminda Municipality and belongs to the Poka fortress complex. The village itself lies on the shore of Lake Paravani, the largest in Javakheti, and is known above all for the convent of Saint Nino.
The chapel is a cultural heritage monument and assigns it to the late Middle Ages. The entry holds no description of the building: no material, no plan, no arrangement of the apse, so no architectural particulars are given here.
The chapel is active. The arrangement of the chapel and its condition are judged on the spot.
