A magnificent hall in a historical place, it is a pity that the church is not functioning. The acoustics of the organ are amazing, but the seats in the hall are excessively worn out, spoiling the impression
This is an amazing, ancient place. Concerts are held in the temple every weekend during the summer season. There is an organ inside. I recommend everyone to go to their famous organist Luca Gadelia.
It is a very interesting temple, I advise you to go to the museum. Be sure to get to the organ music concert, although it is problematic to get tickets!
A must-visit location if you are vacationing in Pitsunda. The organ in the temple is a separate song. Only in the heat it is better for adults not to visit - it is stuffy.
Luca Gadelia!!!Beyond praise
A guide to the organ is something
Unfortunately I don't remember the name
It was June 5, 2023
Thanks to all the organizers for a wonderful evening
I am fascinated by the sound of the organ and the skill of the performer. The concert made an indelible impression.
I recommend you to visit.
And the soloist's voice is magnificent, as is her exquisite outfit.
To say that you liked it is not to say anything at all. It's incomparable!!! The acoustics are gorgeous! The repertoire is excellent! The theme from the movie Interstellar on the organ sounds cosmic!
Two for arranging the purchase of tickets. You can't buy on the Internet (you need to register in a VK group, write somewhere in a personal account, then receive a reservation, then run to redeem this reservation ....). And there are always no tickets at the box office. In short, it was not possible to listen to the famous organ. We need to come up with something more understandable and transparent with tickets.
350rubles per person, there's nothing to see there, we stayed there for 10 minutes.
Perhaps, when there are performances of musicians, it's interesting there, but just to take a look - don't waste time and ₽.
A divine place. We listened to the organ, an impression for a lifetime. Be sure to visit this place

06/18/2023 became the owners of lucky tickets to the only concert "Dialogues of the Ages" in the temple of the 10th century. There was an apocalypse at the box office, there was even a fight!
The concert was amazing! I can't put it into words! And the violin, and the cello, and the organ, and the exclusive soprano! Of course, the ticket price is 1300 rubles, very low for such a mind-blowing concert!!! I want to believe that musicians get decent pay for their work!
Before the concert, the guide Marina told incredible historical facts about Pitsunda!
I strongly recommend everyone to attend the masterpiece concerts in the Pitsunda Temple!!!
We were at Luke's concert, that's something. Before the start of the concert, a tour of the territory, then a concert. I recommend this temple to everyone.
Blessed Abkhazia. Pitsunda
In addition to the famous relict pine grove, there is another attraction in Pitsunda. This is a concert and organ hall in an ancient church.
The Orthodox church combines a monument of the Abkhazian school of Byzantine architecture of the 9th century and as a monument of Christian culture of the Abkhazian kingdom of the 8th-10th centuries
The building has been completely preserved in our time. The thickness of the walls is 1.5m. During the reconstruction, only the roof, windows and doors were repaired. The service took place until 1930. Then, as was the norm of that time, there was a warehouse, a club, a cinema in the temple. In the 70s, the elite resort of Pitsunda began to receive foreign tourists and decided to make a concert hall out of the temple.
In the 90s, the temple was opened as a concert and organ hall. The organ was bought in Potsdam and installed by German craftsmen.
The soft silvery timbre of the instrument combined with the strict architecture give the Pitsunda concert hall a special uniqueness.
Fragments of ancient frescoes have the audience in a romantic mood and a deep perception of the organ.
There is an Orthodox church in the center of Pitsunda. A large tourist complex has been organized on its territory, which includes a museum and a concert hall. The museum is very interesting, you will learn a lot about the history of Abkhazia. Organ music concerts are held daily in the concert hall, musicians and opera singers perform. The concert program is very rich, with works by both classical and modern composers.
The church of the tenth century, this alone is impressive, because it witnessed half of the history of our era. It is now used as a concert hall. We got to the rehearsal, listened to the organ. The complex has a history museum, a dolmen and a small chapel where you can pray and light a candle.
A great atmospheric place with incredibly cool organ music concerts! A must-visit in Abkhazia! And listen to the tour about this place, it's really exciting!
