  • Description

In the very heart of picturesque Kakheti, in the vicinity of the mysterious village of Akhalsopeli, lies the Church of Our Lady. Its ancient roots go back centuries to the 6th century, but thanks to careful restoration in the 19th century, it has survived to this day in a transformed appearance.

This temple is a real architectural masterpiece, which is a cross-domed structure of the tetraconch type. Each of its four sides is topped by horseshoe-shaped apses, and an octagonal dome dominates the spacious interior. The smooth transition from the square base to the rounded drum of the dome creates a sense of harmony and sophistication.

As you walk inside, you are surrounded by an atmosphere of mystery and awe. Galleries added later complement the appearance of the temple, although some of them, unfortunately, have not survived to this day. Despite the lack of decoration on the facades, the Church of Our Lady radiates its unique spirit of history and faith.

Imagine yourself in this ancient place, shrouded in legends and secrets. The Church of Our Lady in Kakheti is not just a landmark, it is an amazing journey into the past that will leave unforgettable impressions and inspiration for many years to come.

    Когда входишь сюда, время будто замирает. Каменные стены и старинная архитектура переносят в прошлое, словно ты — часть тысячелетней истории. Особенное впечатление оставляет купол — величественный символ обращённый в небеса. Чувствуешь, как на плечи ложится легкий груз веков, но вместе с ним и непередаваемое чувство спокойствия. Здесь хочется задуматься о вечном, о главном.

    В этом месте время словно остановилось. Каждый камень хранит свою историю, а спокойствие и тишина поражают до глубины. Уникальная атмосфера захватывает дух, оставляя прочное впечатление. Вид на окружающие пейзажи и ощущение древности заставляют задуматься о вечном. Храм будто приглашает в мир, где суета остается за порогом. Настоятельно рекомендую прикоснуться к этому уголку истории.

    Кирпичи, здававшиеся средневековьем, и мозаика, будто светящаяся изнутри, напомнили мне, что архитектура может быть настоящей медитацией. Центр жизни давно переместился, но эта церковь хранит в себе эхо прошедших веков. Простота и одновременно сложность линий оставляют нехитрый вопрос — как забытое место вправе быть таким живым?
