Jvari Monastery Of Mtskheta, Georgia

Now a world heritage site, the Jvari Monastery is one of Georgia’s biggest Orthodox Churches. Located on the precipice of a cliff, the stone church features splendid panoramic views of the surrounding place. 

Although established in the early years of the 6th century, the architecture of the Church has been preserved in its original state till date. The remarkable designs of the Church reflect the typical beauty of the Early Medieval Georgian styles, making Jvari a ‘blueprint’ for several other smaller churches in Georgia. Several stone carvings line the walls of the Church, adding to the rustic beauty.
