The Church complex of the Mother of God in Metekhi is a fascinating journey into history and architecture. Located in the edge of Shida Kartli, in the heart of the village of Metekhi, this ensemble includes the Cathedral of Our Lady, a fence, towers and a bell tower. Here, every stone, every architectural element bears the imprint of centuries.

The Church of Our Lady, decorated with green stone inlays, surprises with its cruciform plan, built from carefully crafted basalt squares. Its dome rests on the apse walls and western towers, and the facades delight with majestic medallions and crosses decorating the windows and arches.

Walking through the ensemble, you can notice traces of time and many repairs, indicating the careful preservation of this historical heritage. A fence built from stone blocks and bricks surrounds the complex, creating an atmosphere of antiquity and mystery.

To visit Metekhi, you can use the asphalt road leading from Kaspi and stretching along the right bank of the Mtkvari River. In this secluded place you can not only enjoy the beauty of architectural masterpieces, but also immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the ancient history of Georgia.

    Эту церковь часто путают с собором в Тбилиси из-за схожего названия и облика. Но это два совершенно разных места. Одна возвышенная, а эта больше похожа на мудрого старца, который пережил много в своей долгой жизни. Снаружи царит спокойствие и вдохновение, но внутри атмосфера резко меняется. На стенах видно следы времени — шрамы, ожоги, черные пятна. Возникает желание прикоснуться к ним, как проявление сочувствия. Кажется, что сюда приходили не только по праздникам, но и за защитой. Возможно, эти стены когда-то служили убежищем. Исторических фактов о том, кто и когда ее построил, найти не удалось. Упоминаются разные даты: от 11 до 13 века.

    ამ ადგილის მონახულებისას გრძნობა დამიბრუნდა, რომ დროის მდინარებას გვერდით ავყარე და წარსულში შევაბიჯე, სადაც არქიტექტურული დიდებულება იესოს სიყვარულს ჰყვება.

    ექსტრაორდინარული არქიტექტურა და ფრესკები მდუმარედ მოგზაურობას გიშორებენ დროში და ამ ინტიმურ სივრცესთან სულიერ კავშირს გიახლოვებენ.

    Gazing upon this ancient sanctuary nestled by the river, I felt time slip away. The whispers of history seemed to weave through its stone walls, connecting centuries of devotion and resilience. The absence of open doors didn’t dampen the spirit emanating from within. Instead, it heightened the mystery, leaving me in awe of the stories untold. Each step around its exterior was a step through the past, where the tranquility of the moment embraced the chaos of modern life. A hidden gem that calls for more than just a glance.

    აღფრთოვანებული ვიყავი მატეხის ღვთისმშობლის ტაძრის სილამაზით და იმ სირთულეებით, რომლებიც იქ ნაპოვნი მოტივების აღდგენისას იგრძნობოდა.

    This place is a serene haven where time seems to stand still. The unique structure whispers stories of the past, enveloping you in a quiet reverence that's hard to find elsewhere. As I stood beneath the stunning dome, a profound sense of peace washed over me. It’s more than just architecture; it’s a moment of connection with something timeless.

    ისეთი შთამბეჭდავი, ძლიერი და მასიური ატმოსფერო იგრძნობა ამ ეკლესიაში, რომ მისი ხილვისას სუნთქვა მაწყვეტვინა.

    Словно попал в далёкую эпоху, стоя у величавых стен. Архитектура завораживает, погружая в тишину и спокойствие. Невозможно не ощутить благоговейный трепет. Внутри скромно, но, кажется, здесь не нужны яркие краски; сама простота завораживает больше, чем можно ожидать. Словно находишься на границе двух миров: прошлого и настоящего. Сюда хочется возвращаться.
