მამაკაცური მონასტრის დათვალიერებისას, შატბერდში, გული გაახსენდა და სული სიხარულით აივსო, როდესაც ამ ისტორიულ და არქიტექტურულ საოცრებას შევხვდი ჯადოსნურ დზამის ხეობაში.

An architectural symphony in brick and stone, the monastery's presence feels like a gentle whisper from centuries past, even though it's a modern creation. The interplay of light through its octagonal dome and arched windows crafts an atmosphere of contemplative serenity. Walking through, I felt a profound peace, as if the architecture itself was breathing a quiet solace into the air.

An octagonal dome reaching skyward, whispering tales of sacred serenity into the crisp, Georgian air—this place is a testament to timeless tranquility. The sun filters through the arched windows, casting a tapestry of light and shadows that dance softly across the walls. In this serene oasis, surrounded by unassuming brick and stone, there’s an inexplicable sense of peace that wraps around you like a warm shawl. A visit here feels like an embrace from the past, a gentle reminder of stillness amidst life's chaos.

Место, где время будто останавливается, заставляет задуматься и проникнуться. Архитектурные линии храма завораживают своей простотой и одновременно изяществом, будто напоминают, что в жизни главное — внутренний мир. Пребывание там наполнило душу необычайным спокойствием и умиротворением. Величие купола вызывает в сердце трепет и ощущение связи с чем-то большим. Это стоило того, чтобы приехать.

Странное чувство спокойствия охватило, как только вошла внутрь. Все вокруг словно дышит умиротворением и временем, как будто кто-то застыл в моменте. Каждое окно, каждая арка словно пропускает не только свет, но и вековую историю. В воздухе витает что-то неуловимое и притягательное. Здесь легко забыть о мире вокруг и просто быть.
