  • Description

In the depths of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, in the small village of Kvemo (which means “lower”) Nichbisi, hides the majestic Church of St. Nicholas. This architectural masterpiece is imbued with a history dating back to the 16th-17th centuries, but its beauty and grandeur continue to delight to this day.

The church's vaults are inscribed in the shape of a cross; it is reinforced by a new wall rising above the lower part of the building, which gives it special power and grandeur. Although time has not been kind to the dome, with only the lower part remaining, the bold decision to cover it with a glass and metal structure in the 1990s added a modern touch to the ancient architecture.

Inside the church there are majestic imposts, which delight with their octagonal shape and decorated with elegant capitals. Every corner and wall is imbued with the spirit of history, and the western portal attracts the eye with its varied ornaments, creating a unique atmosphere.

The true treasures of this church are revealed only to those who pay attention to the details: the carved window projections, the cross-shaped stones around it, fragments of the jagged frieze on the facade - each element here is like a mystery waiting to be revealed.

The Church of St. Nicholas is not just a historical monument, it is a place where stones tell stories and architecture holds secrets. Immerse yourself in this world of grandeur and mystery, shrouded in the spirit of antiquity and beauty.

Everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient times and feel the grandeur of Georgian architecture should visit this location. Here, among stone walls steeped in history, you can feel the grandeur of the past and feel its unique spirit.
