Gantiadi church, 6th-century Christian church in Gagra district, Georgia.
The three-nave basilica structure of Gantiadi church incorporates limestone blocks and flat bricks of different sizes in its construction methods.
The Byzantine Emperor Justinian I commissioned the construction of Gantiadi church in 543 AD during the regional conversion of Abazg tribes to Christianity.
The discovery of a tombstone with Greek inscriptions at Gantiadi church provides evidence of the religious practices of 6th-century Abkhazian officials.
The church remains stand at coordinates 43.379167 latitude and 40.070833 longitude, accessible through the transportation network of the Gagra district.
Ottoman forces partially destroyed the church in 1576, leaving only the original basilica ruins visible in the current structure.
