Agubedia, Georgia
Bedia Cathedral
Bedia Cathedral is a medieval Georgian Orthodox cathedral located in Bedia, in the Tkvarcheli district of Abkhazia, a disputed region on the Black Sea coast. Bedia Cathedral was originally built at the close of the 10th century and consecrated in 999 on the behest of King Bagrat II of Abkhazia, who would go on to become the first King of the Georgia as Bagrat III and who was interred at the church after his death. The extant edifices, however, date back to the 13th-14th centuries and include a domed cruciform church, a belltower resting upon the northern narthex and the ruins of an old palace.
