The oldest Christian temple in Russia?!

On the website “Eto Kavkaz” on July 25 in the publication “Top 15 places in Karachay-Cherkessia according to the neural network” the Sentinsky temple is indicated in fifth place as the oldest Christian temple in Russia with an image generated by the Shedevroom neural network as built in 965. The architects built it in the Alanian style with elements of Byzantine architecture. The Sentinsky temple stands at an altitude of 1300 meters, from where a beautiful view of the Teberda Valley opens. You can get to the temple both on foot and by SUV. The best time is spring and autumn.

The “Eto Kavkaz” website specifies that the AI was not entirely accurate here. The Sentinsky temple is indeed one of the oldest Christian temples in the country, but it is not the oldest. Tkhaba-Yerdy in Ingushetia and the Church of St. John the Baptist in Kerch also claim this title.
