Saint Theodore Church in Metekhi Village: XVI–XVIII Century
The central region of Shida Kartli boasts some of the most beautiful places in Georgia. To see this for yourself, visit the Church of St. Theodore, located in the village of Metekhi (Kaspi Municipality).
Travelers often wonder what to see in Georgia. If you admire the Middle Ages and religious architecture, the Church of St. Theodore is definitely worth a visit.
The building, constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries, is a rectangular hall church constructed of cut stones and boulders from local rocks. The church is supported by three arches, one of which is triumphal and decorated with pilasters and corbels. The roof is a semi-cylindrical vault with gutter-shaped tiles.

The interior is accessed through an arched entrance on the south side of the church. The room is well-lit by sunlight streaming through arched windows.
The eastern side of the building opens into a semicircular apse, the floor of which is raised by a single stone step. A rectangular window carved into the stone occupies a central position in the apse wall.
Georgia's attractions are numerous and varied, despite their similarities – each one is unique. To appreciate this beauty, it's better to see once than to hear about it seven times.
