The 10th-century temple in the village of Kortaneti was built in honor of St. George, the most revered in Georgia.

If you are thinking about what to see in Borjomi, we advise you to visit the Church of St. George in the village of Kortaneti. The church was built in the 10th century. Just then in Georgia began an era of experiments with architecture, and the preserved temples of that time are unique.

This church building is of hall type with the annex near the arched entrance on the west side. The vestibule of the vestibule is cylindrical, it is perpendicular to the vault of the temple. The roof of the church has different levels. The vestibule has a single slope, while the hall is covered with a double slope roof.

The east facade of the church props up the rock, and the rest of the area for the temple was leveled. On the north side, on a slope that is overgrown with forests, are the ruins of a settlement. The sights of Georgia are distinguished by their colorfulness. The church of St. George is built of uncut stone of various sizes and shapes.

The lower stones reach 1 meter in length, which makes the building monumental. The church hall is whitewashed. The church was reconstructed, all the openings became wider and bricked up. The vault of the church became cylindrical. The walls, located lengthwise, were divided in two levels by two-level pilasters. Each level protrudes 27 centimeters, all pilasters end on the same level.
