Jvari Monastery is one of the oldest churches in Georgia. History of this complex begins in the 4th century when Christianity became the main religion of Georgia.
Place where Jvari Monastery is located had been a place of worship of pagans. Idols stood tall overlooking the city of Mtskheta and remind everyone of their pagan believes.
This changed with the conversion to Christianity. King Mirian and Saint Nino destroyed pagan idols and erected a cross in their place. It quickly became the main place of worship not only for Georgians but also recently Christian northern Caucasian tribes.
Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is located in the former capital of Georgia(Iberia) Mtskheta. The building that stands here now is from the 11th century, however the history of this cathedral goes a lot further into the past.
The first church was built here in the 4th century when Georgia(Iberia) converted to Christianity. We’ll explore all the interesting parts of this cathedral and later walk through the streets where you’ll have an opportunity for souvenir shopping.
At around 17:30 we’ll return to Tbilisi and our team will deliver you to your hotel.
We were visiting from Spain and wanted to get to know the capitals of Georgia. We had read about these cities in advance and were excited to explore each of the.
We had a great tour with Gvantsa and Emzar, the guide was very knowledgeable and fun. Nobody knows everything, but we were surprised to see the extent of her knowledge!
Would definitely recommend to my anyone going to Georgia. Best way to get to know these towns!
We took this tour during our vacation in Georgia and loved it!
Irakli and team did a great job both while organizing and touring with us.
Thank you Kartveli TOurs, We’ll see you soon!
