Church of the Trinity of Tsminda Sameb

Not far from the center of old Tbilisi on the hill of St. Elijah on the left bank of the Kura is the Cathedral of Tsminda Sameba. This location makes it visible from different parts of the city. The name translates as “Holy Trinity”. It is called the symbol of modern Georgia. The height of the cathedral is 101 meters. This is not just a temple, but a whole complex. A characteristic feature is seismic safety, which is noted in the project.

Nine bells were cast in Germany, including mechanical and electronic bells. Construction began on November 23, 1995.

The foundation laid objects brought from holy places, gold coins, plates. It began functioning in December 2002. The cathedral was built on the donations of ordinary citizens and businessmen in the style of modernism. The facades are decorated with unique carvings. The floors and altar are covered with marble and mosaics. There are paintings and frescoes on the walls. The central place is occupied by the handwritten icon of the Most Holy Mother of God.
