Abelia Church

The Holy Trinity Church in Abelia (Georgian: აბელიის სამების ეკლესია) was built in the 13th century and is one of the significant monuments of the Georgian Orthodox Church. It is located in the Tetritskaro Municipality in southern Georgia, in the Kvemo Kartli region. The church is a simple single-nave temple, situated on the outskirts of the modern village of Abelliani, formerly known as Abelia. On the southern wall of the church, one can see a reference to the dual power in Georgia during the Mongol rule, which allows us to determine the construction period of the church approximately between 1250 and 1259. This historical site has been included in the list of immovable cultural monuments of national significance of Georgia.
