Lomisi Church: a 9th-Century Mountain Temple of Unhewn Stone
The Lomisi Trinity Church is one of the highest churches in the region, located in the historical and geographical region of eastern Georgia, specifically in the village of Kavtiskhevi in the Kaspi Municipality. Its stunning aerial view alone has earned many travelers a place on their lists of Georgia's most beautiful places.
Architecture
Georgia's landmarks are renowned for their stone architecture, and the Lomisi Church is no exception. Constructed of stone and cut cobblestones, it creates an authentic early medieval atmosphere both on the building's façade and inside.

The church's vault is covered by a casement roof, supported by several arches adorned with single-stage pilasters with carved stone capitals. The southern façade is also framed by an arch, the base of which is a simple, massive abutment shaped like a capital.
On the northern side of the church is a rectangular niche. Sunlight enters the central axis of the projection from an arched window; there are also windows on the north and west sides of the church. The central icon is of St. George.
The church complex consists of three buildings:
- The church itself, next to which the monks of the temple reside.
- Scythian, whose vault and conch were previously destroyed.
- To the west is the equally impressive St. George's Church in Kavtiskhevi.
If you are interested in early medieval architecture and enjoy stunning mountain views, then the Trinity Church of Lomisi will not disappoint you.
