  • Description

The Church of St. Nino in Ateni, immersed in scenic beauty, is not only a historical monument, but also an incredible symbol of the spiritual heritage of Georgia. This architectural complex, consisting of two small churches adjacent to each other, impresses with its antiquity and majesty.

The first church, located in the south, has its roots in the 5th-6th centuries, while the second, in the north, was built in the late Middle Ages. The history of this place can be felt in every stone of its walls. The ancient basement serving as a crypt under the southern church, as well as the professionally carved passage in the southern wall, are just a few signs of a long and rich history left by time.

To visit this historical site, you will go to Didi Ateni, located in the Shida Kartli region, Gori municipality, just 11 kilometers north of Gori. The road to the village runs along a motorway, slightly damaged by the asphalt surface, but even a sedan can cover this distance without difficulty.

We invite you to take a journey through the centuries and experience the grandeur and magic of this ancient temple, which is not only a historical artifact, but also a spiritual stronghold of the people of Georgia.

    Stepping into the sacred space nestled among the rugged Georgian landscape felt as though I had entered a different time. The stone walls echoed the whispers of centuries past, inviting peaceful reflection. The simplicity of the architecture contrasted beautifully with the serenity surrounding it, creating an ambiance that both grounds and elevates one's spirit. It's as if the stones themselves carry stories, urging you to pause and listen. A profound experience that lingers long after leaving, softening the soul in unexpected ways.

    В этих каменных стенах словно оживает история. Когда стоишь на вершине скалы и смотришь вниз, уносят мысли в прошлое, к тем, кто был здесь века назад. Простота и величие сливаются воедино, оставляя в душе удивительное спокойствие. Этот храм — напоминание о том, что время и усилия могут создать нечто невероятное. Благодарна за возможность быть здесь и соприкоснуться с вечностью.

    Чувство спокойствия и проникновения в прошлое охватывает тебя, когда стоишь перед величественными песчаниковыми стенами церкви в долине Тана.

    Когда дорога выныривает на простор, он вдруг возникает из ниоткуда — таинственная форма среди зелени гор. Это место не для суеты; здесь тихо, как внутри старой бутылки грузинского вина. Внешность обманчива: странноватый вид лишь добавляет загадочности, а внутри царит спокойствие и благоговение. Сесть на одном из сидений, в которых чувствуется прикосновение времени — словно прикоснуться к тайне, спрятанной меж стен. Я почувствовал себя молчаливым свидетелем долгого разговора тысячелетий. В этом есть что-то такое, отчего хочется замереть и просто слушать.

    ორი ერთმანეთზე მიძენებული შუა საუნუნეების საყდარი, დღეის მდგომარეობით რესტავრირებულია. ტანქს ხეობაში მოგაზაურობისას, გზის პირზე მდგომი ეს კუბოკრული და უცნაური ფორმის ძეგლი აუცილებლად მიიქცევს თქვენს ყურადღებას.
