Natlismtsemeli monastery, Orthodox monastery in Kakheti region, Georgia

The Natlismtsemeli monastery features numerous cave temples and a central church with an additional smaller church in the southern section.

Following its establishment by Luciane in the 7th century, the monastery underwent modifications during the 12th century, incorporating new architectural elements.

The monastery walls display frescoes from the 18th century, including portraits of King Tamar alongside traditional religious imagery and decorative elements.

Visitors need to undertake a rock climb to reach the smaller church, where they can explore the bell tower and former monastic quarters.

The central church stands at an exceptional height among Georgian monasteries, creating a distinct profile against the mountain landscape.
