The Monastery of Alaverdi. A very beautiful monastery. An ancient temple. When you are in Georgia, be sure to stop by. Beautiful and unusual. A place of peace. There is power and attraction here. There is a church shop. There is a gift shop at the entrance. Everything is covered in roses. There's a liquor store across the street.
Monastic singing is strict, masculine. The service is sedate. Makes you concentrate. There was a desire, as in other places, to take photos in the temple, but no hand was raised. In the temple itself, you rest your soul and body. I'm on the verge. It is located in the mountains, the beauty is indescribable. It seems better to me than in Switzerland.
I really liked the good atmosphere of communication with both visitors and employees of this institution. Immersed in the life of monks, you can pray, relax, a good church shop. There is a parking lot. There are a lot of souvenir shops outside the walls of the complex. I recommend.
A very soulful place! There were peaches when they bloomed, which grow around and inside the monastery. Beautiful! They offered to come when the peaches ripen, which they do not sell, but treat for free))) It's a monastery, they say
As you can see, you can take beautiful photos here and feel the history, I didn't go inside, I sat opposite in a cafe where they sell delicious eclairs).
