The Church of St. John the Baptist stands in the village of Gurjaani, south of the town of the same name, approximately one kilometer from its center. The church is a hall-type structure with a bell tower and a well-kept courtyard.
There is no dating available from open sources, so the century is not specified in the description.
The village is isolated from the city, on the Alazani Plain near the northeastern foothills of the Gombori Range, at an altitude of approximately 440 meters. According to the 2014 census, 3,738 people lived here. There are several old churches in the village: the late medieval churches of St. John the Evangelist, Kviratskhoveli, and the Mother of God, as well as the late 18th-century Kashveti and Archangel Michael.
The village also houses the house-museum of actress Nato Vachnadze, housed in the Andronikashvili family palace.
