Ambara church, Medieval church in Gagra, Georgia
The Ambara church features a three-nave basilica design with Bolnuri crosses positioned above the eastern door of the structure.
The Anchabadze dynasty constructed this Christian church during the sixth century, making it one of the earliest religious buildings in the region.
The church transformed from a place of worship to a weapons museum during Soviet times before returning to religious functions in 2012.
The church entrance faces west through a narthex that connects to interconnected naves, allowing visitors to explore the interior layout.
Princess Eugenia Maximilianovna of Leuchtenberg directed the reconstruction of the church in 1902, leading to its consecration as Saint Hypatius Church.
