It is currently the second largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The present structure was completed in 1029 by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze, although the site itself dates back to the early 4th century.

The sites themselves were fantastic, but our tour guide offered little to no explanation about anything and hardly seemed enthusiastic about leading the group. In addition, we booked and paid for a private tour but were surprised with a group tour on the day-of we were informed our scheduled tour guide fell ill. I highly recommend you reconfirm that your tour is private 12-24 hours in advance lest you face the same outcome.
