📍 Coords and Plus Code

Gogichaant Gheli is an old settlement by the village of Chobiskhevi: a complex of stone darbazi halls with the ruins of a church of St. George. A darbazi is an ancient Georgian stone hall with a stepped vault and a light opening at its top.

The place lies in the mountain part of Borjomi municipality, seven or eight kilometres from Borjomi. Around it are the wooded slopes of the Borjomi gorge; the nearest village shrines, the churches of Dviri, stand three and a half kilometres away.

This is a monument rather than a working church: examine the masonry with care, take nothing apart and nothing away. Sturdy shoes are worth having; follow the coordinates.

    Удивительный мегалитический памятник. Интересные конструкции и хорошее состояние. Территория большая, много чего скрыто под землёй.

    A must-visit… an amazing ancient site tucked away from the usual paths, yet very accessible from the main highway and Borjomi.

    What a beautiful place! Just a reminder, please avoid climbing the walls since the area isn't well-maintained and could pose risks to both the site and visitors.

    A fantastic megalithic site tucked away in the woods near Borjomi. It's a pleasant walk along a path used by cows from the bridge. You can see evidence that both Islamic and Orthodox communities inhabited the area in the past.

    This is a stunning 9th century stone village in Georgia. It's definitely worth the effort to locate since there are no signs directing you there. The beauty and craftsmanship of the stonework are truly remarkable.
