Mtsvane Monastery, Medieval monastery in Borjomi valley, Georgia
The church and bell tower of Mtsvane Monastery stand within the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, built with green sandstone and surrounded by forest.
Construction of the monastery dates to the 9th century under disciples Christopher and Theodore, who followed the teachings of Georgian monk Grigol Khandzteli.
The monastery features traditional Georgian architectural elements, including a three-nave basilica and a two-story bell tower with religious carvings.
Located 12 kilometers from Borjomi, the monastery complex contains restored religious buildings that resumed active services in 2003.
Red stones in the nearby stream mark the location where Persian soldiers killed monastery inhabitants during an invasion in the 1550s.
