Tsalenjikha Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Tsalenjikha, Georgia.

The cathedral features a central cross-domed design with three arcaded galleries and a two-story bell tower in the northwestern corner.

The construction of Tsalenjikha Cathedral began in 1301 and became a residence for the Dadiani family by the late medieval period.

Byzantine artist Cyrus Emanuel Eugenicus painted elaborate frescoes inside the cathedral during the late 14th century under Vameq I Dadiani's commission.

The cathedral stands in the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region and contains a 40-meter tunnel extending westward from the main structure.

The cathedral's murals represent late Paleologian art with complex iconography, though they currently require substantial conservation efforts.

Location: Tsalenjikha Municipality
