The Saint Nicholas Church (Georgian: ხოფის წმინდა ნიკოლოზის ეკლესია, romanized:khopis ts'minda nik'olozis ek'lesia) is a ruined medieval church at the village of Khuapi [ru] in Abkhazia, an entity in the South Caucasus with a disputed political status.[1] It is located some 18 km northwest of the town of Gudauta, at the foot of the Bzyb Range.[2]
^The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
