Gergeti Trinity Church

The stone structure stands at an elevation of 2170 meters, featuring a cross-cupola design with a separate bell tower beside it.

Built in the 14th century, the church protected sacred Georgian relics during the Persian invasion of Tbilisi in the 18th century.

The church maintains its role as an active monastery within the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church, requiring visitors to follow dress codes.

Visitors can reach the church through a 30-minute taxi ride from Stepantsminda or by taking a 1.5-hour hike from Gergeti village.

The church contains two entrances with ornate decorations, while remnants of original murals remain visible on its dark-grey stone walls.
