A very interesting place - a former ancient city, of which almost nothing remains except ruins. The only thing is what is now commonly called a monastery, although it is not active. The road here is very bad, most likely 3 km from the village of Gudarekhi you will have to walk, as the road is mud and rubble of trees. This is a very little visited place, not a tourist place at all. If you managed to get here, be proud that you visited.

Amazing place with spirit. To get there you need 4X4 car or hike. During the rainy or snow days will be harder to get at the monastery by car.

Phenomenal lil monastery in the middle of nowhere ???? The masonry work on this building is absolutely staggering. I have no idea where they even got the stones to build this medium-sized hilltop monastery ?♂️ I really enjoyed the ride out here on the motorcycles. Pretty gnarly trails and really epic scenery! Some might say it's the perfect day on a motorcycle ??? If I'm honest I was truly amazed by the different colored stones that made these lovely buildings up. Crazy beautiful ?

The main temple of Gudarekhi is built by the architect Chichaporisdze. Built with well-smoothed frames, the façades are richly carved. Fragments of wall paintings are preserved. The east façade is lined with two triangular niches; Above the window is a large carved cross, and below - carved squares. From the outside, the church had two outbuildings - a gate to the south and an aisle to the north (both are now in ruins). The two-story bell tower was built in 1278 during the reign of Demeter II. This is the earliest dated bell tower in Georgia. The lower floor of the bell tower is open, above is an eight-storey panchayat, and in the middle of them - a parking lot. Fragments of the carved iconostasis of Gudarekhi Church are preserved in the Georgian Art Museum. Gudarekhi Monastery is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Manglisi and Tsalka.
