The Pichori Church (Georgian: ფიჩორის ეკლესია) is located in the village of Pichori, Gali Municipality, Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia.

History

The church is built in the Middle Ages. Currently the area is occupied by Russia, which is why it is impossible to study the church and perform appropriate works.

References

  1. The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
