The Tiri Monastery, lost in Gori, is one of the most beautiful places in Georgia.
Being in Georgia, you can see the Tiri Monastery, which is interesting for its architectural and historical component.
Looking for the most beautiful places of Georgia,, then you should look at the Tiri Monastery.
Write down the address so as not to get lost.
Location: Shida Kartli region, Gori Municipality. If you travel by car, it is about 8 km from Tskhinvali (the center of South Ossetia). At the moment, this is the territory of the Russian Federation.
The ensemble consists of several structures: the Church of the Virgin, a refectory, a bell tower, a fence and a cave complex. The oldest of the whole complex is the Church of the Mother of God, founded in the 13th century.
We will tell you about its architecture.
The temple itself is simple, but over time new buildings appeared that complicated the original plan of the building. One of the sides is decorated with a semicircular apse (a projection of any shape adjacent to the main part of the structure and connected to it by a semi-dome). Interestingly, in this case, the apse is not at the floor level, but somewhat higher.
In the western part there is a cell, which is connected by means of an arch to the main nave (an elongated room, a passage separated, as a rule, by columns from neighboring naves).

The place where the priest is located during the service is quite small and is located between the apse and the nave. The longitudinal walls of the church are decorated with pilasters and two-stage arches.
The temple has 2 entrances, south and west, both of which are richly decorated.
In the southern and northern parts of the church there are additional buildings that serve as storerooms. The southern one is a separate room with its own entrance.
Judging by the decor, the artists paid the main attention to the facades, which are completely decorated with patterns.
On the west side of the Church of Our Lady is a rectangular refectory. Unfortunately, it is badly destroyed, one of the walls completely collapsed, the vault collapsed.
In the southwest there is a 2-storey bell tower. It is very classical in architecture: the first floors are square in plan and only the upper floor is a multi-faceted gazebo with arches.
We hope that we were able to suggest what to see in Georgia. So come and see. The sights of Georgia are waiting for you.
