Sight of Georgia Church of the Icon of the Mother of God in the village Tsvirmi.
According to history, the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God in the village Tsvirmi was built by a local resident who lived in this village, and his name was Koba Gigliniani. Both the church itself and the surrounding area is a cozy, picturesque place to explore
The sights of Georgia are so diverse that they are suitable for perhaps any tourist: a lover of architecture, nature, photography or simply a contemplative. Even if you arrange a trip only through temples and monasteries, one will not be like the other, because behind each there is a different story.
For example, the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God in its appearance completely corresponds to the classic Georgian cathedrals that we are used to seeing in photographs. But one view around makes the heart beat faster: the pine forest on the mountain slopes, the snowy peaks of the mountain giants in the distance and the winding road. It's even surprising how people found this place to settle down: there's a small village near the church.
No wonder that many hiking trails pass through this area. Location: Samegrelo - Zemo Svaneti region, Mestia municipality Tsvirmi village. Looking at the state of the church I want to say "as good as new". And this is correct, as the construction began only in 2015, and 3 years later the church was consecrated and opened to the public.
What is interesting is that the church was built by an ordinary resident of the nearby village of Tsvirmi, Koba Gigliniani, who could have chosen absolutely any architectural style to build from scratch, but turned out to be a man devoted to the traditions of his people. That's why it turned out to be a cozy, pleasant place, for those who want to consider the local architecture in detail.
It often happens that in ancient temples, many interesting nuances are erased with age and become elusive to the eye of the tourist, especially one who sees such a structure for the first time. So for newcomers this is a particularly good place to start.
Georgian churches also have their own hierarchy. The Iberian Cathedral of the Icon of Our Lady is part of the diocese of Mestia and Zemo Svaneti (1 of 50 dioceses of Georgia). And if you are just planning your trip and creating your list of "the most beautiful places in Georgia" or "what to see in Georgia," be sure to include the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God in Tsvirmi.
