  • Description

In a picturesque corner of Shida Kartli, in the very heart of Didi Ateni, stands the Aten Temple, called “Red Hill” by local residents. This Orthodox church has become a symbol of the end of Easter Week and attracts attention with its unusual architecture. Built from cut stone, it delights with its irregular shape and graceful details.

The temple building has a unique structure, with a rectangular hall ending in a semicircular apse on the eastern side. Its brick cornice and tiled roof create a stunning contrast with the surrounding nature. Inside you can find arched windows and small niches that give the temple its special character.

To reach this unique place, follow the road to Didi Ateni through the Shida Kartli region. The village is located just 10 kilometers from Gori, and there is a road leading to it. Although the asphalt surface is damaged, you can easily cover this distance in a sedan and enjoy the beauty of the Aten Temple.

A visit to this location is worth it for those who appreciate historical heritage and unique architecture. Here you can plunge into the atmosphere of antiquity and feel the grandeur and spirituality of this place, shrouded in legends and mystery.

    დიდი ატენის კვირაცხოვლის ეკლესია მდებარეობს გორის მუნიციპალიტეტის სოფელ დიდი ატენის დასავლეთ ნაწილში, სასაფლაოზე. თარიღდება გვიანდელი ფეოდალური ხანით.
