Zemo Nikozi church of the Archangel

Gori Municipality, Georgia

The Zemo Nikozi church of the Archangel (zemo nikozis mtavarangelozis ek'lesia) is a 10th-century Georgian Orthodox church in the Gori Municipality, in Georgia's east-central region of Shida Kartli. It is inscribed on the list of Georgia's Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance. A small domed church, it stands in what is now the village of Zemo Nikozi—an "upper" part of the historical settlement of Nikozi—on the right bank of the Greater Liakhvi River, at an old cemetery, some 100 m. south of the Zemo Nikozi church of the Deity. Being in close proximity to the South Ossetia conflict zone, the church survived the August 2008 Russo-Georgian War, which heavily damaged parts of the church of the Deity complex.
