The church of St. Michael in Mikeltsminda is the church of a village in the hills north of Akhaltsikhe, where the name of the settlement speaks for itself. Mikeltsminda means St. Michael: the village is named after its church, and such unity of the name is a living trace of the time when the church was the centre of everything.
Today it is a quiet spot of the Akhaltsikhe country: village yards, hills and a church still carrying the name that named the whole settlement. A call here fits logically into the circle of villages between Akhaltsikhe and Sviri: Tatanisi, Karatubani and Mikeltsminda in a single morning.
One enters freely, with ordinary rural courtesy: modest dress, a quiet voice, respect for the yards. If the church is shut, a look from outside and a walk along the street are enough: the name of the village alone is worth a stop.
