On the outskirts of the Samtskhe-Javakheti peninsula, in the quiet village of Tabatskuri, stands the Red Church of Tabatskuri - a historical gem adorning 10th-century Georgian architecture. Built from red stone, this temple represents the sophistication and spiritual grandeur of ancient times.
Symmetrically rectangular in shape, the church is decorated with a semicircular apse on the eastern facade, adding grace and harmony to it. Inside, the space is permeated with light, penetrating through the arched windows to the west and east, illuminating the splendor of its internal architecture.
Admiration is caused not only by the majestic appearance of the church, but also by the rich decorative decoration. The frescoes and carved elements depict hunting scenes of the holy horsemen and the Apostle Daniel in the lions' den, as well as amazing grape motifs, giving the interior sophistication and sophistication.
With every stone, every curved ornament, the Red Church of Tabatskuri tells its story, inviting every guest to plunge into the richness of Georgia's cultural heritage. It is not surprising that on March 30, 2006, this magnificent structure was awarded the status of a cultural heritage monument, and on November 7 of the same year - the category of national significance.
To find yourself in this historical corner, you can choose the path through the city of Borjomi, enjoying the scenery for 60 kilometers. Or travel from Akhalkalaki or Bakuriani, overcoming small dirt roads. However, remember the importance of caution, especially in winter.
