Zion of Urbanis - the three-nave basilica is located in the village of Urbanis, Kareli municipality. Based on the stylistic features and paleographical study of the Asomathur inscription on the northern facade, it dates to the end of the 5th-6th centuries. In the mentioned inscription, the founders of the temple, named Constanti and Father Mikel, are mentioned. The other three inscriptions of different times talk about the restoration of the church. Sion of Urbanis is a basilica with three naves (32.1X22.4 meters), its plan, spatial solution and external masses bear clear signs for a basilica. In the interior and facades of the church, the original (end of the VI-VII centuries) and later (II half of the IX century and 1668) construction layers of repair and restoration are clearly visible. The earlier layers are brought out by well-smoothed blocks of sandstone. In the next period, stones of different shapes are used for reconstruction, the arrangement is irregular. There are three entrances to the temple: from the south, west and north. In the interior of the church, the naves are separated from each other by four cruciform pillars. The pillars and the semicircular brick arches resting on them divide the space of the middle nave into five, almost equal sections. The nave is covered with a brick semicircular arch. On the eastern facade of the temple, a cross is made of bricks. There is a similar cross on the west facade. In the western section of the north facade, under the window, there is a stone with the image of a cross, and further down is the image of a horse. The church has a brick gabled love garden. The roof is tiled. Urbanisi Zion belongs to the group of great basilicas of Georgia of the earlier feudal era (analogs - Katsreeti Trinity, Khirsa).
