Bzyb (village)

Bzyb (Georgian: ბზიფი, Abkhaz: Бзыҧ, Bzyph, Russian: Бзыбь or Бзыпта) is an urban-type settlement located in the Gagra district of Abkhazia, Georgia. Next to the river Bzyb. There is a 10th-century church, now in ruins and a medieval fortress nearby. The town became less important when the fortress was destroyed and the town passed into the control of the House of Inal-Ipa, which perhaps branched off around 1730 from the Abkhaz royal house the Chachba.
