Hot! Mtskheta & Khintsvisi
Day Trip

Today we will drive throughout the fertile lands of Kartli Region to visit Khintsvisi Cathedral beautifully located on a picturesque wooded mountain slope. We will pass through ancient capital Mtstkheta - built at the confluence of Aragvi and Mtkvari rivers. Mtskheta is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and presents a living museum with many architectural and historical monuments.

The domed cross-planed church of Khintsvisi is adorned with remarkable mural paintings portraying King Giorgi III, Queen Tamar and her son Lasha-Giorgi. "The Angel of Khintsvisi" is especially impressive among these murals. Nearby the main church on the bank of the Kintsvura river stands the only surviving part of the single-nave basilica dedicated to the Virgin. This small church has suffered greatly from frequent floods. The artistic technique and style of the murals in the remaining part of the main apse resemble those of the main church of St. Nicolas.
