David Gareji Monastery is
situated deep in semi-desert
about 75 km south-east of
Tbilisi. The Monasteries were
founded in the 6th century by
the Christian Father St. David.
Walk up to Udabno to explore
some of the fine frescos of the
8th-13th c. and cave
architecture. The complex
includes hundreds of cells,
churches, chapels, refectories
and living quarters hollowed out
of the rock face. The area is
also home to protected animal
species and evidence of some of
the oldest human habitations in
the region. |
