Samtavisi Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Kaspi Municipality, Georgia.
The Samtavisi Cathedral features a rectangular layout with a four-piered cruciform domed structure incorporating medieval Georgian architectural elements and decorative blind arcading.
The initial monastery at this location was established in 572 by Assyrian missionary Isidore, while the current cathedral structure dates from 1030.
The cathedral walls display religious frescoes commissioned in 1679 by Givi Amilakhvari, representing traditional Georgian Orthodox Christian artistry.
