A majestic temple, and a view of the city opens. Calmly) Its history goes back to 1003 — it was then that it was consecrated as a symbol of the growing triumphant struggle for the unification of the Georgian lands. It was listed in UNESCO until someone Saakashvili decided to restore and install a glass elevator (and why not?). As a result, such an ancient temple was excluded from the world Heritage due to the stupidity of one person.
There are national men's ensembles, if you ask, they will sing for you.
A magnificent ancient temple
One of the few, and we have visited more than 20 temples and monasteries where the presence of the Holy Spirit is felt. A very salty and beautiful place!
A picturesque authentic temple with a beautiful view of Kutaisi. An ancient temple with a history is a must-visit if you are in Kutaisi. There is a source of drinking water on site
An atmospheric place.
The original renovation was done.
Instead of the destroyed corners, modern structures were installed, without imitating the antiquity.
There are Christian relics.
Great view.
Nearby are the ruins of the fortress wall.
A grandiose temple on a hill, visible from everywhere in Kutaisi! Although disfigured by modern metal additions, it impresses with its volume and history, and even looking at the great remains of walls and columns both from the outside and from the inside.It's easy to imagine his past greatness! It retains the religious aura of the past! I would like to see its revival and return to full functioning! God grant you!
It is a very beautiful temple. It is currently under restoration. The place is quiet, not crowded. The road rises along the serpentine. When open, people often come to the wedding after the wedding.
A beautiful historical place, a great location for a photo.
An authentic temple, as historically preserved as possible.
You can see a variety of national weddings for every taste from small to luxurious with shooting and artists.
There is a good view of the city, but you will not see anything except the roofs of the houses. There is a good view of the river from the old walls, but they are not allowed there and scold. You can enter the temple in any clothes, there are shawls and skirts at the entrance to look decent.
An amazing temple: after the restoration, the old and the new are harmoniously intertwined in it. And after looking at the photos of the ruins, you have even more respect for this shrine and for the people who honor their faith so much.
A very delicately restored temple. Despite the advantageous location close to and inside, it makes the impression even stronger, so do not be lazy to climb the stairs to it
A huge ancient (1005) cathedral on the highest point of the city. It was in ruins for a long time, restored not so long ago. Now it is an active temple. Around there are the remains of an ancient fortress - the city began from this place.
There are several paths leading to the temple, but we decided to take a cable car up and then walk for about 10 minutes. This made it possible to avoid climbing the stairs and enjoy the mesmerizing views of the city. The temple is functioning, you can put candles and order prayer services, which adds a special atmosphere to the place. We recommend that you definitely visit this place, the views of Kutaisi from here are simply gorgeous.
A place where time stops and you sink into yourself. Not trying to understand what your prada is , what is your fault , but being in unity with yourself , you accept everything as it is
It's a beautiful place. It's not very convenient to get there, but it's worth it. Take a walk around the temple grounds, I advise you to climb various ruins, from there you have a good view of both the temple and the city. There are drinking fountains. The temple itself was not entered, but the entrance is free.
The most favorite place in Georgia. The most powerful energy of an ancient structure , preserved for thousands of years . Georgians have approached the restoration of the temple creatively , history and modernity , traditions and modern technologies are intertwined in it. The view from the hill to ancient Kutaisi cannot leave anyone indifferent.

The largest temple in Kutaisi.
There are a lot of foreign tourists - the prices in the temple are simply cosmic.
The outside is better than the inside. But this is typical for almost all Georgian churches.
I advise you to evaluate it yourself.
Beautiful view of the city from the place where the Temple is located. The temple will touch the soul, everything is clean, light, there are icons that are attracted to.
An amazing place! A place of power, greatness! It feels so good when you're here! And what views open from there to the whole of Kutaisi!! There are no words. Of course, we advise you to come here and visit, without this, the trip to this city will probably not be complete. We were happy to see it all firsthand.
When visiting Kutaisi, be sure to visit this temple.Great view of the city.A blessed place.Candles can be placed in the temple, prayer services can be ordered, the temple is functioning.Tourists come here from all over the world.
The most famous temple of the city of Kutaisi is a must-visit. It is necessary to climb the mountain on foot from the city center. Majestic and ancient.
An interesting place was removed from the World Heritage list for moments in the restoration that did not suit the commission, in particular the glass elevator, metal supports and ceiling.
But the place itself is very beautiful and significant, I recommend you to visit
The views from the temple to the city and the surrounding mountains are fantastic! The ruins and the temple itself are good in their own way. They have a huge history, there is no point in describing it - the Internet will help you.
