Saint George's Church, Armenian church in Old Town, Tbilisi, Georgia

Saint George's Church stands at the corner of Vakhtang Gorgasali Square, near the Narikala fortress ruins in the historic district of Tbilisi.

The church dates back to 1251, as confirmed by an Arabic inscription found on a khachkar stone placed above the western entrance of the churchyard.

The interior features late 18th-century paintings by Hovnatan Hovnatanian and murals by Gevorg Bashinjaghian depicting Biblical scenes from 1922 to 1923.

The cathedral functions as the primary religious center for the Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church and underwent renovations from 2012 to 2015.

The church contains the tomb of Sayat-Nova, an influential poet and musician who composed verses in Armenian, Georgian, and Azerbaijani languages.
