Georgian Patriarchate, Tbilisi, Georgia

On the eastern edge of Tbilisi, on Erekle II Square, stands an ancient institution that personifies the spirit and history of the Georgian Orthodox Church - this is the Georgian Patriarchate. Its history goes back a long way, because it was here, on the ruins of King Rostom’s palace, that construction of the current building began in 1809. Since then, this place has experienced many changes, from serving the representative of Tsarist Russia to housing the government of the Russian Orthodox Church. Despite repeated reconstructions, the building has still retained the grace of classicism on its facades, which gives it a special character and grandeur.

During the history of this place, various institutions were located here - from a civil police unit to the Georgian Art Institute. However, in 1990, this place found its true purpose, becoming the residence and center of spiritual activity of the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia. The Georgian Patriarchate is not just a building, it is a center where the spiritual, cultural and historical threads of Georgia are connected.

Having visited this holy place, you will plunge into the rich history of the Georgian Orthodox Church and feel the greatness of its traditions. Here you can feel the spirit of the times, walking along the alleys where the great heritage of Georgia rests. For those who are looking not only for beauty, but also for spiritual inspiration, the Georgian Patriarchate will be an unforgettable place where you can immerse yourself in the world of prayer and reflection, enjoy the grandeur of architecture and feel the spirit of deep history.
