The Lashtkhveri church of the Archangel (Georgian: ლაშთხვერის მთავარანგელოზის ეკლესია, romanized:lashtkhveris mtavarangelozis ek'lesia), also known as the church of Taringzel (Svan: თარინგზელ) is a medieval Georgian Orthodox church in Mestia, Upper Svaneti. Architecturally an unremarkable hall church, its most recognizable feature is a series of frescoes painted on both internal and external walls, dated to the 14th–15th century. Beyond religious scenes and portraits, the paintings include a rare illustration of episodes from the epic romance on Amiran-Darejaniani. The church is inscribed on the list of the Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance of Georgia.[1]
