Samtavro Temple

Samtavro Monastery is located in Georgia, in the city of Mtskheta. Samtavro is translated from Georgian as “royal place”, which became the tomb of Tsar Mirian, his wife Nano, who first converted to Christianity. Goderdzi Urgebadze is also buried in the temple, after baptism he received the name Gabriel. Near the monastery is a small church of St. Nino, built by King Mirian. Now the temple is an active women's monastery.

The route to Mtskheta begins in Tbilisi. It is most convenient to get on the taxi route, going 20 minutes to the city center. Then walk and you will see one of the ancient monastic complexes.
