The inner walls of the temple Shuamta are decorated with unique fresco paintings. It is worth visiting this monastery, there is a lot to see in Georgia.

Unfortunately, after many centuries of the existence of the monastery complex, in the 16th century it was abandoned. Services were no longer held in Dzveli-Shuamt, and pilgrims passed by this place. Due to the lack of proper maintenance, the buildings rapidly turned into ruins.

In the second half of the 16th century, the Queen of the Catechia Tinatin undertook the restoration of the monastery, she built a new Shuamta temple. The main building of the New Shuamta Church was made of brick and had the same cruciform structure as its predecessors. The interior walls of the main hall of the church are decorated with murals and frescoes depicting portraits of saints and scenes from the Holy Scriptures.

The sights of Georgia are very revered, every local resident cares about the preservation of the cultural riches of the country. This tradition did not appear just like that, its roots go deep into the Middle Ages. Even a hundred years later, the church was maintained in good condition thanks to the care of King Levan II, he was engaged in its renovation and expanded the entire complex, thanks to the construction of the bell tower and other buildings. Under the foundation of the church is the tomb of an unknown saint, scientists still cannot say exactly who is buried there.
