Chugureti St. Astvatsatsin

The church exhibits traditional Armenian architectural elements with a cross-shaped layout, stone masonry walls, and detailed exterior carvings representing biblical narratives.

Originally constructed in the early 19th century, the church first appeared in Tbilisi's city plans of 1825 and was listed among Armenian churches in 1831.

The Amatuni family from Nakhichevan played a central role in establishing the church, contributing to the development of Armenian religious structures in Tbilisi.

Located at 32 Nino Chkheidze Street, the church operates as a Georgian Orthodox institution since 1991, following its transfer after the Soviet period.

During the Soviet era, the church survived destruction due to direct intervention from Lavrentiy Beria, instead serving as a storage facility.
