Zhamushi Savior Church in Svaneti: History and Route
The Church of the Savior is located in the village of Zhamushi and was built in the 10th-11th centuries. Inside, the church consists of a wide hall, with a small annex on the western side.
To enter the church, use the entrance located on the south side of the building. Incidentally, the structure has a second entrance connecting the outdoor and indoor spaces. The building has three small arched windows.

The facades are decorated with beautiful pilasters, imitating a smooth transition between the arch and the facades themselves. All the arches are designed to create curved patterns above the window reveals, which greatly attract the attention of tourists.
The entire staff resides in the church, which gives them the right to treat it as a residential building. The church interior is designed in the 13th-century style.
You can also admire the incredibly beautiful frescoes depicting the celebration of various feasts. While here, you can see an icon of St. George, dating from the 16th-17th centuries.
