Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Telavi, Kakheti, Georgia
- Description
The Church of Our Lady of Telavi, located in the historical part of the city of Telavi in the Kakheti region, is a magnificent example of late medieval architecture. This temple, being built on Cholokashvili Street, is a real work of art. It inspires awe with its beauty and grandeur.
Architecturally, the church is a cross-domed structure, organically integrated into the surrounding landscape. It is elongated from east to west, the apse faces east, and the quadrangular altar and refectory are located to the north and south, respectively. The upper tier is complemented by a canopy, which is an internal balcony of the church, which gives the building a special charm and uniqueness.
One of the most spectacular elements of the church is its dome, supported by four powerful arches. The high neck of the dome is decorated with twelve arched windows, which gives the building light and airiness. The facades of the church are decorated with exquisite reliefs of crosses and arched systems made of brick, which adds to its unique charm.
Equally important is the material from which the church is built – Kakheti brick. This material gives the building a special strength and warmth, and also adds a touch of local authenticity.
A visit to the Church of the Mother of God of Telavi is an immersion in the atmosphere of ancient Georgia, in its spiritual heritage and cultural wealth. Here you can enjoy not only the architectural beauty, but also feel the connection with the history and traditions of this amazing country.

Walking into this sacred space, I was immediately enveloped by an overwhelming sense of peace and serenity. The elegant design, with its soaring dome and intricate arches, creates a tranquil sanctuary that seems to lift one's spirit. Sunlight streaming through the high windows casts gentle patterns on the walls, enriching the atmosphere with a quiet, reverent beauty. It's a place where time pauses, inviting you to reflect and connect with something greater. A truly moving experience.

ეს პატარა და ზემოაღნიშნული ადგილი სავსეა სიბრძნეებით, სიმშვიდით და საუკუნოვანი ისტორიით, რაც მას განსაკუთრებულ ელფერს აძლევს.

Спокойствие и уют древних камней создают удивительную гармонию с улицами вокруг, словно все здесь дышит одной историей. Я не заходил внутрь, но даже снаружи это место завораживает. архитектура кажется такой же естественной и живой, как горы на горизонте. Чувствуется, что в этом уголке нашлось место для чего-то большего, чем просто каменные стены.

На первый взгляд заметно спокойствие и тихая атмосфера, которая царит здесь. Однако при большем внимании понимаешь, что всё, что вам ответят — лишь святые иконы. Не хватает какого-то личного участия, сердечного тепла. Скромность в убранстве требовательна к посетителям: будьте готовы к внимательным взглядам, если что-то не так в вашем внешнем виде. В целом, место интересное, но ожидала большего отклика от святыни.

Внутри этого небольшого рая из кирпича и белых стен время останавливается. Купола словно обнимают небесную синеву, а тихий свет льется через арочные окна, создавая атмосферу покоя и вдохновения. Хотя я была здесь впервые, ощущение, что я знаю это место давно. Оно как будто приглашает задержаться и найти свой момент умиротворения.
