Red Church Tabatskuri, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia
- Description
On the outskirts of the Samtskhe-Javakheti peninsula, in the quiet village of Tabatskuri, stands the Red Church of Tabatskuri - a historical gem adorning 10th-century Georgian architecture. Built from red stone, this temple represents the sophistication and spiritual grandeur of ancient times.
Symmetrically rectangular in shape, the church is decorated with a semicircular apse on the eastern facade, adding grace and harmony to it. Inside, the space is permeated with light, penetrating through the arched windows to the west and east, illuminating the splendor of its internal architecture.
Admiration is caused not only by the majestic appearance of the church, but also by the rich decorative decoration. The frescoes and carved elements depict hunting scenes of the holy horsemen and the Apostle Daniel in the lions' den, as well as amazing grape motifs, giving the interior sophistication and sophistication.
With every stone, every curved ornament, the Red Church of Tabatskuri tells its story, inviting every guest to plunge into the richness of Georgia's cultural heritage. It is not surprising that on March 30, 2006, this magnificent structure was awarded the status of a cultural heritage monument, and on November 7 of the same year - the category of national significance.
To find yourself in this historical corner, you can choose the path through the city of Borjomi, enjoying the scenery for 60 kilometers. Or travel from Akhalkalaki or Bakuriani, overcoming small dirt roads. However, remember the importance of caution, especially in winter.

ეს უჩვეულო ადგილია, სადაც აწმყო და წარსული ორაზროვანი სიმშვიდით შეხვდებიან ერთმანეთს.

Странно-одинокое чувство охватывает при взгляде на этот забытый временем объект. Лишенная суеты, она будто ларец, хранящий свои тайны. Однако жаль, что её состояние оставляет желать лучшего: как будто природа решила вернуть своё. Место произвело на меня больше печали, чем вдохновения, хотелось бы видеть его более ухоженным, ведь даже у заброшенности может быть чарующая красота.

შთამბეჭდავი მოგზაურობა იყო, თითქოს წარსულში გადაიყვანეს და სიწმინდეში ჩაიძირეთ.

Где-то на стыке времени и пространства, среди холмов и тишины, спряталась эта красота. Стены дышат историей, и кажется, будто каждое мгновение здесь оцвечено невидимой кистью прошлого. Атмосфера завораживает и уносит мысли далеко от повседневного. Чувствуется, как вековая мудрость и покой наполняют душу. Это место, к которому хочется вернуться, чтобы вновь окунуться в его неспешное величие.

Stepping into this forgotten gem, I felt like time paused. The rustic charm of aged stones and the serenity surrounding them created an unexpected sanctuary for my thoughts. The whispers of history echoed softly, weaving tales of a bygone era. It was as if the old walls held a secret dialogue with the landscape, one that I was fortunate enough to overhear for just a moment. In its quiet solitude, I found a unique peace—a rare breath of fresh air in a fast-moving world.

Whispers of the past breathe through weathered stones here. The air feels sacred, almost as if time has gently wrapped its arms around this place, allowing you to step out of the ordinary. Each brick seems to tell a story only the wind understands, while the serene silence speaks to your soul. It's a rare corner of the world where stillness brings clarity—a gentle reminder that beauty often lies in the forgotten.
