Mts'khet'a, Georgia

 This place was Great

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, the old women

Mtskheta was a capital of the Georgian Kingdom of Iberia during the 3rd century BC - 5th century AD, and until 12th century the Georgian church residence was situated there. I was there just for one day, but had time to visit its main places - Svetitskhoveli Cathedral and Jvari Monastery. Also I visit functioning wimen monastery Samtavro, it is very peaceful place. I have a story about these places in Russian (http://sonia.tululuka.net/travel/2005/georgia/), I will try to translate it soon and post here.
