Zarzma monastery, Medieval Orthodox monastery in Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia.

Zarzma monastery is a complex whose main church has a cross-in-square plan, two entrances (southern with a stretched portal, and western), and a dome drum with twelve windows, half of them false. The walls are built of rectangular quadras, the façades are polychrome with cross motifs around doors and windows, and the interior is frescoed. The bell tower stands southwest, with a chapel and four smaller hall churches to the east, north and south.

The first church was probably built in the 8th century by the monk Serapion of Zarzma, with donations from the nobleman Giorgi Chorchaneli. The present domed church and bell tower date from the early 14th century, sponsored by Beka I of the Jaqeli family. In 1544 the Khursidze family refurnished the monastery, and in 1577 they turned the bell tower's ground floor into a church. After the Ottoman conquest the site was abandoned until restoration in the early 20th century.

The monastery walls display frescoes with religious scenes and depictions of saints, reflecting artistic traditions from medieval Georgia. These wall paintings show how monks expressed their spiritual understanding through visual art.

The monastery stands in the Kvabliani river valley, 30 km west of Akhaltsikhe. The main church has a southern portal and a western entrance; the bell tower, originally part of the fortification wall, is southwest of the church. The complex is active, so visitors should dress modestly and avoid services.

The bell tower originally formed part of the monastery's fortification wall, and its ground floor served as the entrance to the complex. Its upper floor is an octagon with eight arches and holds the belfry. In 1577 the Khursidze family walled up the arches of the first floor and turned it into the Church of Saint John the Apostle.
