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.
