St. George Church in Kvibisi: Hall Church with Stone Candle Stand
The Church of St. George, located in Kvibisi, was built in the Middle Ages. The cathedral building is a hall-type structure, constructed of gray hewn stone.
The entrance is on the south side. A small window is located in the center. The interior of the church ends with a semicircular apse on the east side, with an arched window in the center and rectangular recesses on the north and south walls. The altar contains a refectory stone.

The structure is entirely covered in plaster, and the floor is tiled. The cathedral is also covered in stainless steel. It has a tiled courtyard surrounded by a wall. In the courtyard of the Kvibisi Church of St. George is a stone building used for a candle stand.
The church once had a tombstone for K. Avalishvili, which is currently located in the courtyard. The inscription on the tombstone indicates that Avalishvili restored the building in the 19th century.
