Description
The cultural center of Mtskheta invites you to immerse yourself in the rich history and spiritual heritage of Georgia. Known as the cultural and religious center of the country, Mtskheta is deservedly called the "Second Jerusalem". It is home to the majestic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, which houses sacred relics, including the tunic of the Lord and the cloak of Prophet Elijah.
Visitors can also enjoy the views from the Jvari Temple, which rises on the Hill of the Cross and offers a panoramic view of the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers. The Transfiguration Church of Samtavro, located on the territory of the ancient monastery of St. Nino, houses the iconic icon of the Mother of God and the relics of saints.
For lovers of history and architecture, we recommend visiting the Bebris Tsikhe Fortress and the Shiomghvime and Zedazeni Monasteries, which are famous for their legendary cells and ancient walls. Several sites in Mtskheta are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, which emphasizes their importance.
