A 10th-century building of St. George's Church in Adishi. When creating the temple painting, the masters preferred light colors.
St. George is the most revered saint in Georgia, with many churches, temples and cathedrals dedicated to him. The Church of St. George in Adishi is one of such places of interest in Georgia...
When visiting Svaneti, you have a great opportunity to visit the local church built in honor of St. George, the main saint revered in Georgia.
By the way, the church is a monument of the tenth century. The building is of a hall type, and was built of hewn stone.
The exterior of the church is covered with plaster and various drawings that are slightly damaged. Rectangular cornices run along the entire length of the facades. The entrance to the church of St. George is on the west side.
The windows of the church have rectangular form, some of them are made in the form of arches. In front of the altar itself rises a stone iconostasis, which has three arches. Some fragments of painting have been preserved on the stones of the iconostasis, and its front part is covered with an amazingly beautiful ornament.
Local masters worked on the interior of the building, who decided to use bright and light shades in it.
The lower part of the wall depicts the church fathers. Also around the perimeter of the entire temple you will see many beautiful images of saints, gods that will amaze you with their uniqueness, detail and beauty.
