Nekresi is a historical city. It was founded by King Farnage. A diocese was established in the city at the time the first church was built there. One of the Assyrian fathers immediately settled there.
The city quickly became influential throughout Georgia. Politics, culture, development, all came from here. Nekresi spread the knowledge of Kartli to all parts of the country. The diocese of the city even included part of Dagestan. Nekresi was really very important for Georgia. All the cultural activities took place there, which later spread to the rest of the country.
On the territory of the city there is a monastery complex, combining monuments of Georgian architecture. The oldest of them is the small basilica, built in the 4th century. It is recognized as the oldest monument of Christianity in the country. The large basilica was built a little later, in the 7th century. The main church resembles a rectangle in shape and consists of three parts.
This place will be ideal for people who are interested in history and architecture. In addition, the diversity is created by the extraordinary natural beauty of Georgia.
