Bzyb (Abkhaz: Бзыԥ, Bzyph, Georgian: ბზიფი, Bzipi, Russian: Бзыбь or Бзыпта) is an urban-type settlement located in the Gagra District of Abkhazia,[note 1] Georgia. Next to the river Bzyb. There is a 9th-10th-century church, now in ruins and a medieval fortress nearby.[citation needed] The town became less important when the fortress was destroyed and the town passed into the control of the clan of Inal-Ipa, which perhaps branched off around 1730 from Abkhazia's princely house, the Shervashidze.[citation needed]
