The Church in Borjomi is the Likani Church of the Holy Virgin Mary, a monument of Georgian architecture of the 7th century in one of the most beautiful places in Georgia.

The sights of Georgia take us back to the past centuries. This is how the Church of the Lycan of the Holy Virgin Mary, built in the VII - IX centuries, tells us the story. It is located in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region, in the vicinity of Borjomi, crowning the most beautiful places in Georgia - the Akhoebistskali gorge.

The building is elongated in shape, bounded on both sides by columns, and a rounded apse completes the structure. The western wall of the temple is covered by a bell tower built in the XVI century. The first floor is built in the shape of a cube, made of rough stones of large size, which gives massiveness to the walls. This is the entrance to the church. The second floor has a barrier restriction, which has a profile in the form of a shaft.

A stone staircase leads up. The bell tower is destroyed, but the pillars of hewn stone that held the roof convey its scale. Near the entrance to the bell tower there is an inscription “Asomtavruli”, which means that the temple was erected by the inhabitants of the Borjomi Gorge, which belonged to the Avalishvili family.

The bell towers of the Church of the Holy Virgin and the Green Monastery are very similar. This makes us understand that they were built at the same time, and that both temples need to be viewed. During the Middle Ages, a monastery was located in this church.
