Itinerary
At the top of the cliff stands a church built between the 6th and 8th centuries. In ancient times the Katskh pillar was revered by locals as a symbol of the god of fertility. After accepting Christianity, people believed that this is a place where a person can come closer to God.
History of Chiatura and information about Manganese mines
Chiatura - the extraordinary view catches our eyes: randomly built high-rise blocks, abandoned construction sites and vehicles from the Soviet period, tattered towers of cableways sticking out on the horizon. As if an imaginary worker pressed the "stop" button and everything still stood for tens of years! The situation is saved by the creaking of old cars and moving archaic cabins, which confidently climb up to the top of the mountains.
Mgvimevi Monastery, built like a nestle in a karst cave on a rock (built by Prince Rati in the 13th century). The complex is richly decorated with ornaments, in some places are preserved frescoes of the early period. From the balcony of this amazing structure, you can see the exploded mountains and rattling mines leading to the bowels of the earth.
