According to the legend, the first version of a church was built in the 5th century. It’s the reign time of King Vakhtang Gorgasali. The current church is not initial. The building period is 1278-1289. It is the ruling time of King Demetre Tavdadebuli (Dmitry the Sacrificed). The older version of the church burned in 1235, during the invasion of Mongols.
During its long lifespan, there were many reconstructions of the church. On the construction body, it’s easily noticeable several layers of brickwork.
