Church of the Holy Mother of God in Davati, Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Georgia
- Description
In the historical region of Mtskheta-Mtianeti, in the picturesque valley of the village of Davati, the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Davati is located - a place where centuries are mysteriously intertwined with stone beauty. Built in the 8th-9th centuries, the Davati monastery complex delights with its grandeur and architectural sophistication. In addition to the main church, there is a small church, a tower, a chapel and a dwelling for monks.
The heart of the complex is a two-nave basilica with a chapel, symbolizing the spiritual strength and faith of the ancient masters. Inside the church, the skill of the stone carvers is amazing: every arched vault, every decorative pilaster radiates the grandeur of the past. The altar, personifying the connection with heaven, and the apse, reminiscent of the mercy of the divine touch, create a unique atmosphere of the shrine.
The small church, adjacent to the main one, is crowned with a semicircular apse and permeated with the hidden secrets of centuries. Its simple but sublime walls are like books preserving the wisdom of time.
The tower rises next to the chapel, like a guardian watching over the holy space. Its walls, permeated by time, bear traces of the past, telling us about the destinies of people and the faith that permeated every stone.
The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary Davati is not only an architectural work, but also a place where time has stopped so that every guest can feel the breath of history.
We invite everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of ancient times and see the greatness of the Georgian heritage to visit this amazing complex. In the Church of Our Lady of Davati you will find not only stone walls, but also the spiritual heritage of centuries, enlivened by the greatness of architectural skill and the shrines hidden within its walls.

Очень впечатляет монастырь 4-го века. Расположение на любителя, без гида и хорошего внедорожника не найти. Но впечатления от природы вокруг и самого монастыря того стоит. В турагенствах его нет.
