Overview

You will explore the royal 11th-century Bagrati cathedral on Ukmerioni Hill in Kutaisi, learn about its history & enjoy panoramic views of the city; visit the Unesco-protected Gelati monastery complex, with its medieval Academy building & enjoy wall paintings & mosaics from the 12th century. Gelati was an important scientific center since the Middle Ages, and it is important today, as most of the Georgian royalty is buried there.
