Church of St. Nicholas, Tbilisi, Orthodox church at Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi, Georgia
The St. Nicholas Church stands within Narikala Fortress, featuring a conical dome and traditional Georgian architectural elements in its design.
The original 13th-century church was converted into a munitions storage by Russian forces in 1818, leading to an explosion that caused extensive damage.
The interior walls display frescoes depicting biblical scenes alongside important events from Georgian history, connecting religious and national narratives.
Visitors can reach the church via cable car from Rike Park to Narikala Fortress, making the journey easier than climbing the steep hill.
Archaeological excavations near the church revealed four ancient tombs and remnants of secret tunnels connected to a royal palace complex.
