The Trinity church of Sodeve is a hall church (8.3 × 5.3 m) of the 9th–10th centuries, built of rubble stone in irregular courses; the door and window openings are worked in travertine. The entrance is at the western end of the south wall. On the east, in the flattened apse, are a small arched window and two arched niches. Beneath the window, against the wall, stands a rectangular altar. Only part of the springing of the conch survives. There is one window each on the south and west; the southern one is rectangular, the western arched with a stepped sill. The vault rested on a transverse arch carried on consoles (only the northern console survives). The facades are plain. One stone each of a shelf-like cornice survives on the south and north walls.
