Gergeti Trinity Church

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Near the Georgian village of Gergeti, at the top of a hill of 2,170 meters, in the vastness of the Caucasus Mountains and emoldurated by the awesome "Mount Kazbek", you will find the miraculous "Gergeti Trinity Church", also known as the "Holy Trinity Church". It dates from the 14th century, a very simple and isolated church, but very active as a religious temple of the "Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church". Visit the church, its separate bell tower and, principally, contemplate the beauty of the astonishing scenic mountains just in front of your eyes. Say a prayer and be thankful. "Gergeti Trinity Church" is a symbol of Georgia and one of the most impacting images I have ever saved in my travelling memories. Enjoy!

Kashveti Church

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Right at Tbilisi's affluent Rustaveli Avenue, just across the "Parliament of Georgia" building and sided by the "Georgian National Museum", you will find the "Kashveti Church of Saint George". A simple and peaceful church, built in the Byzantine architectural style, at the beginning of the 20th century. Architect Leopold Bilfeldt projected the new temple at the former site of an old damaged brick church. Beautiful frescoes by Georgian acclaimed painter Lado Gudiashvili decorate its walls and ceilings. Its name - "Kashveti" - is attributed to an ancient legend. It derives from the Georgian words "Kva" (stone) and "shva" (to give birth) and, according to the mentioned legend, in the 6th century thirteen missionaries came from Mesopotamia to Christianize Georgia - they are known as the "Thirteen Assyrian Fathers". One of them, Father David of Gareja, was accused by a local woman of making her pregnant. Father David of Gareja prophesied, in his denial, she would give birth to a stone. And the prophecy came true, the woman gave birth to a stone at the very site of "Kashveti Church". Amazing medieval legends ... A quick visit, say a prayer, light a candle and may beloved Saint George protect and bless your journey in beautiful Georgia - a country named after him". Enjoy!

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral

Reviewed By S9788OVmohameds - Alexandria, Egypt

A UNESCO world heritage site. Mtskheta was the capital of Georgia at the time of its glory and this Cathedral is the majestic proof. Built in the early middle ages by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze but the area itself dates back to the 4th century where it's believed to be the burial site of the holy mantle. It is also the burial place of many of the local Kings and queens like Vakhtang Gorgasali, Erekle the 2nd and the interesting tomb of queen Tamar the wife of king George the XI, with writing in old georgian and arabic.

Samtavro Church

Reviewed By W417MHscottb - Royton, United Kingdom

Beautiful interior and exterior, free to visit, must cover knees and women cover their hair to go inside (there are sarongs to borrow at the door) and it’s in a lovely little town.
