Barakoni, Orthodox church in Tsesi village, Racha Region, Georgia
The stone church stands at the meeting point of the Lukhuni and Rioni rivers, featuring a rectangular domed structure supported by two pillars.
Master architect Avtandil Shulavreli constructed the church in 1753 under the direction of Rostom, the regional feudal lord of Racha.
The building's eastern facade contains inscriptions and decorative stone carvings that represent Georgian architectural traditions of the medieval period.
The church opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00, with occasional schedule adjustments during religious services and Orthodox celebrations.
The church structure incorporates stones specifically sourced from the village of Itsi, contributing to its architectural composition and regional identity.
