Barakoni Church of the Mother of God, commonly known as Barakoni , is an Orthodox church in Georgia, near the town of Ambrolauri, in the village of Tsesi of mountainous western province of Racha (modern-day Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti).
Barakoni was commissioned, in 1753, by the local lord (eristavi) Rostom of Racha (1750-1769) from the architect Avtandil Shulavreli who is commemorated in the inscription of the eastern façade. It is a domed cruciform church and one of the last important monuments in the tradition of medieval Georgian architecture. The church was built of neatly trimmed stable stand stones and adorned with rich ornamentation. The church was closed and desecrated under the Bolshevik rule. It suffered further damage, though not serious, in the 1991 Racha earthquake, but was quickly repaired. Located on a top of a steep cliff, it overlooks Rioni River which is joined the Lukhuni River just below the mountain.

Quakanzalia - a limestone lod in the Tsalenjikha municipality, at the elevation of the river at the height of 1800 m above sea level at the edge of the river Curve. Almost in the subalpine forest area, "sits" on a raised pedestal.
The laddy is a special attention to the fact that it is a stone cutting on one of its stumps and the stone begins to smell and picks up the cocoon. It has 4 pillars, 1 of which is always in the air, causing the movement of the ladder; Such impediments are found in many countries, but most of them are produced in magical volcanic rocks, which are located on the limestone lid and the doorstep.

The Gergeti Trinity Church was built in the 14th century, and is the only cross-cupola church in Khevi province. The separate belltower dates from the same period as the church itself. Its isolated location on top of a steep mountain surrounded by the vastness of nature has made it a symbol for Georgia. The 18th century Georgian author Vakhushti Batonishvili wrote that in times of danger, precious relics from Mtskheta, including Saint Nino's Cross were brought here for safekeeping. During the Soviet era, all religious services were prohibited, but the church remained a popular tourist destination. The church is now an active establishment of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church
