Mugudzirkhva Church

Mugudzyrkhva Church (მუგუძირხვის ეკლესია) is a ruined medieval church near the village of Mugudzirkhva, Gudauta municipality, Abkhazia, an entity in the South Caucasus with a disputed political status.

The ruins stand on a rocky hill in the Mchishta ravine. The ruined church was a hall-church design, its more or less preserved northern wall faced with limestone slabs. There are the remains of pilasters which once supported arches of the vault. The eastern wall with a protruding apse and the southern wall are almost completely ruined. Numerous shivers of roof tiles are scattered around the edifice.
