The Church of Apostle Peter in Vejini is an architectural miracle, lost in the village of Vejini, among the picturesque landscapes of the Gurjaani municipality in Kakheti. The appearance of the church resembles a basilica and impresses with its historical significance.
According to the chronicles, the arch of the church was destroyed in 1976, when the northern wall fell under the blow of a tractor. However, despite temporary testing, the two entrances leading from the north and west remain open to visitors. Every stone, every brick in the walls of this building seems to speak of its centuries-old history and wisdom. The interior walls are decorated with columns, and the arch rising above the temple gives it a special atmosphere.
Although the exact date of construction of the church is unknown, its history includes many important points. It served as a place for Christian ceremonies and baptisms, filled with faith and prayer for centuries. Today, thanks to restoration efforts, the Church of the Apostle Peter reasserts its greatness and beauty.
By visiting this location, you will plunge into the atmosphere of ancient Georgian Christianity, feel the connection with past eras and be able to enjoy the majestic architecture, which has retained its unique character through the centuries.
