Streets squares and districts to visit Georgia

This kartlien village (not to be confused with its namesake of Djavakhétie), beautifully situated on the foothills of the Chaîne chain, at the foot of arid hills, has several interesting monuments.

Just above the village, the small chapel of Pavnissi, with remarkable green stones (th - th centuries).

Two kilometres above the village is the magnificent, imposing church of Ertatsminda dating back to the th and th centuries.

After Akhalkalaki, towards the west, lies the small (adjoining) village of Garikhoula, where a manor house built in the th century by a Polish architect is located. Artists from the Academy of the Arts in Tbilisi have elected them, and there is a regular visit to «Art Villa Garikhoula» of artistic Events, festivals and meetings.

In the descent of the cross of the Cross side Khévie, one passes next to a very visible source source, which forms curious orange retro. The volcanic area is full of hot and mineral springs.

In the village of Sioni is a magnificent th century fortified basilica, ideally situated on a promontory overlooking the valley, as an invitation to the festival represented by the high basin of Térek.

Lessélidzé has several caravanserais, one of whom can hardly guess that they were. They were historically concentrated around the Sioni Cathedral. The principal is located on the right at the intersection of Lessélidzé and Sioni streets, opposite Irakli II Street. Téklés Karvasla, the caravanserai of Téklé, the former royal caravanserai, was destroyed by the Persians in 1795; It was rebuilt in a "euro-Moorish" style, orientalist and neoclassical. Left to the Soviet era and hard hit by the earthquake of 2002, it is now rehabilitated and is becoming a hotel.

There are other xixe, neoclassical and pseudo Persian caravanserais, higher on Lessélidzé, in numbers 27, 29 and 36. At 26, another synagogue in function. From here, Lessélidzé rises on Liberty square.

These shaded and quiet streets, as well as their perpendiculars, are full of charm. In retreat from the large, noisy and congested arteries of vehicles, you will discover some very picturesque places (inner courtyards, facades, etc.).
