Ikorta church, Eastern Orthodox church in Shida Kartli, Georgia

Ikorta church is a 12th-century Georgian Orthodox church at the edge of the village of Ikorta, originally part of Ikorta castle, of which only the citadel and the church remain. It has a rectangular plan with a dome on the crossing, a semicircular apse on the east, and a dome base pierced by 12 windows. The façades and the lower part of the dome are covered with carved ornament, and the south and west entrances have porches, the south one being a later addition.

Ikorta church was commissioned by the ducal family of Ksani in 1172, during the reign of King George III of Georgia, as part of Ikorta castle. It is the earliest example of the 12th–13th-century Georgian domed churches that established the canonical form. Renovated in the 17th century, it was badly damaged when a large part of the dome collapsed in the 1991 Racha earthquake; in 1999 it was listed among the World Monuments Fund's 100 Most Endangered Sites.

The church is dedicated to the Archangel, and its name Ikorta comes from the village it stands beside. It served as the burial ground of the dukes of Ksani: the brothers Shalva and Elizbar of Ksani and their associate Bidzina Cholokashvili, killed in 1659 for revolting against Persian rule in Kakheti, lie here and were canonized by the Georgian Orthodox church.

The church stands at the edge of Ikorta village in Shida Kartli, on a mountain slope; the site is reached by road from Tskhinvali. The 1991 Racha earthquake brought down much of the dome, and a reconstruction project is under way, so parts of the building may be closed off. The monument was listed among the World Monuments Fund's 100 Most Endangered Sites in 1999.

The solar clock is not inside the church: it is carved on the western and eastern walls, beside an asomtavruli inscription that records the construction year and the names of the contractors. Its semicircle has twelve lettered sectors and a hole for a stick whose shadow told the time; only ten clocks of this type are known in Georgia.
