Timotesubani, Medieval monastery in Borjomi Municipality, Georgia.

Timotesubani is a monastery complex in the village of Timotesubani, Borjomi Municipality, on the right bank of the Gujaretistskali (formerly Tortsikali) river, 18 km southeast of Borjomi. Its main church, the Dormition of the Virgin, was built at the turn of the 12th–13th centuries from pinkish Georgian brick as a cross-in-square domed structure with three projecting eastern apses. The dome rests on two free-standing pillars and altar ledges; later, brick and cut-stone portals were added on the west and south. The church measures 28 m in height, 19 m in width and 11 m in length.

Construction of the Church of the Dormition took place during Queen Tamar's reign from 1184 to 1213, a period of growth and strength for medieval Georgia. This era saw the kingdom develop important religious and defensive structures throughout the region.

The interior was fully painted by the 1220s, in the era of Queen Tamar, and the frescoes are counted among the finest of that period. An inscription names Shalva Toreli-Akhaltsikheli, the noble credited with enlarging the monastery and building and painting the great church. Several hands are distinguishable within a single style, and the paintings were cleaned and studied in 1972–1976 under E. Privalova.

The monastery sits on a mountain slope and is reached by hiking or vehicle, with access depending on seasonal weather conditions. Wear proper footwear and be prepared for uneven ground, as paths are not fully paved throughout the complex.

The central dome rests on two independent pillars combined with altar ledges, showing an unusual medieval building solution. This design choice allowed builders to distribute weight while keeping the interior open for worship.
