Church of St. George in Kvibisi, Samtskhe-Javakheti, Georgia
- Description
The Church of St. George in Kvibisi is a historical masterpiece of medieval architecture, immersed in a wealth of cultural heritage. Located in the picturesque Samtskhe-Javakheti region, it rises above the right bank of the river, like a guardian of spiritual inheritance.
This temple, made of gray cut stone, amazes with its exquisite simplicity and elegance. Its entrance, although moved to the south during the 2010 restoration, still retains its historical charm. The inside of the church is surprisingly cozy thanks to the rounded apse on the eastern wall and arched windows that invite prayer and contemplation.
This ancient temple is not only an architectural miracle, but also a witness to historical events. Here you can see the tombstone of Kaikhosro Avalishvili, who restored the church in the 19th century, which adds even more mystery and mysticism to this place.

From Borjomi this unique place is only 6 kilometers away, making it accessible to any traveler seeking to immerse himself in the richness of Georgian history and culture.

მშვენიერი სულიერი სიმშვიდე და არქიტექტურული ხელოვნების სრულყოფილება გხვდება, როდესაც ამ ტაძრის ეზოში შედიხარ.

Тут каждый камень дышит историей. Атмосфера спокойствия окутывает и словно уносит в другой мир. Вид на окружающие просторы — как картинка с открытки, от него захватывает дух. Такое место, где душа находит свое отражение в вечности.

მშვიდი აურა და არაჩვეულებრივი პეიზაჟები ქმნიან უნიკალურ ატმოსფეროს, რომელიც დაუვიწყარ შთაბეჭდილებას ტოვებს.

Сидел на каменной стене, будто на границе веков, и ловил атмосферу тишины и мастерства. Внутри двора царит нечто необъяснимое: кажется, что история оживает с каждым шагом. Ощущение спокойствия и гармонии невозможно передать словами, но оно здесь ощущается особенно остро. Будто время решило здесь задержаться. Это место как пауза в стремительном ритме жизни.

Perched high with views that would be breathtaking if only more effort was made to enhance the visitor experience. This place whispers stories from the 9th century. However, the journey there somehow dims the appeal. A serene atmosphere is lovely, but a little attention to the surroundings could make it astounding.

Stepping through the modest stone gateway, a profound sense of peace washed over me. The timelessness of its ancient walls seemed to whisper stories from long ago, grounding me in a moment transcending centuries. The harmony of the structure, with its gentle curves and patient stones, felt like a quiet embrace, inviting reflection and solace. A sanctuary of serenity, it left me feeling both humbled and uplifted.
