The Natural Monument of the Ktsia River (cliff) on a lava hill, in volcanic rock, in a cut bed, worked out rare and chosen by biodiversity represents the valley of the canyon.

It is believed that the first church on this site was built under St. Nina, in the middle of the 4th century. And it seems that this was done with the money of Emperor Constantine, or even by his personal order.
