Kumurdo Cathedral, Orthodox cathedral in Akhalkalaki Municipality, Georgia
The stone cathedral features four square arms on its exterior, with apses in the eastern, southern, and northern sections of the structure.
Built in 964 during the reign of King Leon III of the Abkhazians, the cathedral contains inscriptions in ancient Georgian script Asomtavruli on its walls.
The eastern facade displays intricate reliefs with biblical figures and contains a carved portrait of Queen Gurandukht within its interior spaces.
Located 12 kilometers southwest of Akhalkalaki on the Javakheti Plateau, the cathedral currently stands without its original dome structure.
A small chapel next to the cathedral houses an ornamented stone stele from the 5th or 6th century, predating the main structure by several centuries.
