Anchiskhati Basilica, Eastern Orthodox church in Old Town, Tbilisi, Georgia.
The Anchiskhati Basilica features three naves constructed with yellow tuff stone and includes a brick entrance building functioning as a bell tower.
Built between 522 and 534 by King Dachi of Iberia, this basilica stands as the oldest surviving church in Tbilisi and underwent restoration from 1958 to 1964.
The basilica houses the Anchiskhati Choir, which performs traditional Georgian polyphonic choral music during morning mass and liturgical services.
Located at 11 Ioane Shavteli Street, the church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the day, with the main entrance on the western side.
The church received its current name in 1675 from an ancient icon created by goldsmith Beka Opizari, now preserved at the Art Museum of Georgia.
