The city of Mtskheta: a museum city from the UNESCO list . You will get acquainted with the history of the city, which played an important role in the formation of Georgia as a state and its cultural and religious development.

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral . We will visit the largest surviving historical temple in the country. We will talk about the construction and past of the cathedral, which for centuries was the center of Christian Georgia.

Jvari Monastery . “Monastery of the Cross” is the pinnacle of development of Georgian architecture. And although the temple is small in size, it amazes with its grandeur. The name of the shrine has a historical basis - from the moment of the adoption of Christianity, a cross was erected on the site of this temple, at the direction of St. Nino and by order of Tsar Mirian.

The location of the temple is worth mentioning separately. It is here that you will see the confluence of the Kura, flowing from the southwest, and the Aragvi, flowing from the northeast - a symbolic meeting place for almost all corners of Georgia.

Samtavro Monastery . In conclusion, you will examine another architectural monument - the episcopal church of the first half of the 11th century, located on the hillside. The first Christian rulers of Georgia are buried here: Mirian III and his wife Queen Nana.
