CHURCH OF DZITAHANK
Dzitahank is a plot of land lying 2.2 km southwest of Jiliza in a straight line, at an altitude of 1,228 metres above sea level (N 41°12°54.00°°; E 044°36°25.14°°..
It preserves a cemetery and a uninave church of undressed stone which is almost totally ruined, being buried under ruins and a layer of earth. At present only part of its semi-circular sanctuary can be discerned with the altar stone, which, surprising as it is, is preserved intact.
The ruins of the church, the original name of which has fallen into oblivion, also retain a winged cross probably brought here from a cemetery extending south of the monument. It preserves over 15 densely-lying unfinished slabs of memorial stone.
