Mikartsminda Church

The historic name of Abanoeti is Mikartsminda (Georgian: Шаблон:Lang-ka), named after a 10th-century monastery that stood once here. Named after Archangel Michael, the monastery is one of the oldest monuments of Georgian architecture. Of the monastery itself, however, only the foundation remains.

On the once walled site is currently the St. Michael Archangel Church, which also originally dates from the 10th century. This was rebuilt in the 18th century, and was one of the largest Hall churches in Racha. The old church was distinguished, according to historiography, for its unique frescoes and shrines.[3] The current church was last restored in 2012.
