Agjakali church is located in Marneuli municipality, near the river Debeda, on 25-30 m high hill (coordinates: 41.200650 44.531608). The castle is fortified with strong pillars from the north, east and south sides. The castle walls bear the traces of repeated repairs. Fragments of crockery of different periods are abundantly scattered on the territory of the castle… Some scientists (D. Berdzenishvili) think that Adjakali castle is an ancient Tsurtavi – the residence of Varsken Pitiakhsh and the place of torture of Queen Shushanik. But presently there are not traces of a church and other civilian structures. This site promises many interesting discoveries to the future researchers from archeological viewpoint.
