Ruisi cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Kareli Municipality, Georgia
The Ruisi cathedral stands as a cross-in-square structure measuring 27.3 by 19.6 meters, constructed with sandstone blocks, basalt, limestone, and brick materials.
The cathedral underwent multiple constructions, with its oldest elements dating to the 8th century, followed by renovations in the 11th century and reconstruction after Timur's invasion in 1400.
The cathedral contains fragments of medieval frescoes and features a wood-engraved iconostasis from 1781, representing traditional Georgian Orthodox artistic elements.
Three rectangular doorways on the west, south, and north sides provide access to the cathedral, which stands visible from the Gori-Khashuri highway.
The cathedral served as the location for the coronation of King George II in 1055 and hosted a significant church council convened by King David IV in 1103.
