  • Description

On the steep slope of Svaneti, in the municipality of Lentekhi, among the majestic mountains, lies the Church of the Archangels Skaldi. This is a sacred place where history intertwines with the majesty of nature. Rising on the site of an ancient church from the 10th century, it collects the spirit of the past and present. Carved stones left from the old temple, like stone witnesses of time, decorate the area around the modern sanctuary.

An amazing view opens from the tops of this shrine. The church, with its characteristic hall and semicircular apse, inspires awe with its architecture. The interior decoration, painted by expert hands, intertwines with heavenly light, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and peace.

The southern and northern facades are decorated with arches, adding to the sophistication of this sanctuary. The only entrance is located on the western side, and the porch, projecting beyond the temple, serves as a place of contemplation and prayer in the open air. Above the porch, as if a reminder of faith, rises a relief image of the cross.

An integral part of the architectural ensemble is the two-story bell tower. Its graceful arches adorn the hills, and its bells fill the air with holy sounds. The first floor serves as the gateway to the church courtyard, and the second floor is the place where the bell rings, awakening souls to prayer.

The Church of the Archangels Skaldi and its surroundings, delighting with their beauty and spiritual uplift, invite every traveler to plunge into the greatness of Georgian history and culture. This place is filled with mysticism and the grandeur of nature, promising an unforgettable experience to everyone who sets foot here.
