The Lamaria Church was built in the 10th century and is dedicated to St. Mary. Around it is a rock wall and inside there are frescoes that are slowly weathering. In the middle of the church you can see a fresco depicting Jesus. Usually the interior of the church is lit with candles, which gives it a mysterious touch. Every year on August 28th, people from all over Georgia gather to celebrate St. Mary's Day.

If you are in Ushguli, you should not miss this short stop. Small but powerful - with great frescoes.
