The church of the Brother and Sister in Akhaltsikhe is a church above the residential quarters of the eastern edge of town. Da-dzma means brother and sister in Georgian, and under this folk name the church is known: a rare case where a dedication sounds like a family story rather than a church title.
Behind such names in Georgia there usually stands a legend, and even without a recorded one the name works: people climb here out of curiosity and stay for the quiet and the view over the town with its Rabati fortress, visible from here in full.
The church is seen freely, with ordinary courtesy: modest dress and a quiet voice. The short climb from the residential streets takes some ten minutes and repays itself: from above the whole eastern slope of the town is visible.
