13th-century Baiebi complex carved into a mountain
This complex is found on the western side of the village of Tskordza; in the middle of the rocks, on a terrace, there are 3- and 4-story buildings. Two churches next to each other are partially carved into the rock, while the facade of these churches is decorated. There is also a narrow passage at the sanctuary, which once served as a shelter.
Agara Monastery Complex
The main church was built in the 10th-11th centuries, and is one of the largest basilica churches in the country. Today, the complex is in ruins, but the dining area from the 11th-12th centuries is still preserved, as well as a bell tower from the 13th-14th centuries.
