Visit essentials
A quick read before you go
- Etiquette
- Dress modestly, keep voices low, and give anyone praying ample space.
Overview
Lado Gudiashvili painted the interior frescoes in encaustic. The official page invites visitors inside but does not establish a dependable service timetable or photography policy.
Why this place is sacred
The present church replaced earlier buildings associated in tradition with St David Garejeli. The stone-birth story is reported as legend, not historical proof.
Experience and orientation
Conditions at the threshold take precedence over this profile; closed doors, services, conservation barriers, and resident privacy must be honored.
