Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Georgia

Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi

7.3
4.8/5
83 reviews
Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi stands on Elia Hill on the left bank of the Mtkvari River and is the main cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The church adopts the traditional Georgian cross-dome architectural style, with the central dome covered in gold leaf and a gilded cross standing at the top, reaching a total height of nearly 100 m including the underground section. Thanks to its massive size and commanding position, its golden dome can be seen from almost anywhere in the city of Tbilisi. The interior of the church is also worth a close look. In the northeast corner, there is a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary; the southeast corner houses a display case with a cross and a handwritten Bible; and the northwest corner displays a model of the holy city of Jerusalem made of mica. The church also has several chapels underground, and the main murals were painted by contemporary Georgian artists in a traditional style. In addition to the main cathedral, the entire complex includes auxiliary facilities such as a separate bell tower, a monastery, and a seminary, which are quite impressive in scale. As the mother church of the Georgian Orthodox Church, the cathedral hosts Orthodox rituals and religious activities all year round. The interior murals and mosaic decorations create a solemn religious atmosphere, and from the cathedral's platform, you can overlook the city of Tbilisi and the scenery on both banks of the Kura River.Tbilisi · 4.4km from downtown

The most striking feature of the church is undoubtedly its pure gold-clad dome, dazzling in the sunlight and exuding a gentle solemnity when illuminated at night. It's worth noting that the church's construction was primarily funded by donations from ordinary citizens—it's not just a building, but a symbol of Georgians rediscovering their faith and solidifying their national identity after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Georgia has a chronicle monument, which was built during the Soviet era and witnessed the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Many locals go to the Tbilisi Sea for vacation, swimming, and sunbathing. From the monument, you can see the Tbilisi Sea from a distance. It takes 12 minutes to walk from the monument to the beach.

It is a beautifully designed bridge which is lovely to walk over! And is covered in lights during the night :)

The weather with sunny skies all day seems to wash away anyone's melancholy. Even in the middle of summer, the breeze makes the hot summer mild and pleasant. So far, I really like it here and I also like to continue to stay.

The Mother Fortress is located high in Georgia, from where you can see the whole of Georgia. In the evening, you can take a cable car up the mountain to wait for the sun to set and watch the sunset. The temperature in Tbilisi at night is only over 20 degrees in this season, which is really comfortable.

The Gabriadze Theater's clock tower is the most magical and doll-like place in Tbilisi! We simply couldn't miss it. It looks like it came straight out of an old fairy tale: all crooked and whimsical, decorated with vibrant mosaics created by Rezo Gabriadze himself. We arrived just in time to see the doors at the very top open, and an angel with golden wings appear and begin striking the bell with a hammer. You could spend hours examining the details of this tower; every tile is unique. I highly recommend it!

The Pillar of Life Cathedral is located in the urban area of ​​Mtskheta, northwest of Tbilisi. It is also called the Svetitskhoveli Church. The church is one of the most sacred and magnificent churches in Georgia. It is also the second largest Christian holy place after the Jerusalem Church. It is famous for the blood cloak of Jesus and the pillars of early church buildings. The exterior of the cathedral is majestic and surrounded by a circle of walls. The interior decoration is gorgeous and delicate, with many exquisite murals and stickers. The architectural style has a dome and a cross-shaped plane. There are also tombs of several members of the Georgian royal family in the church, including the last two generations of Georgian kings.

The National Museum of Georgia is a museum located in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, with its main building situated on Rustavili Street. The museum houses artifacts dating from 2000 BC to modern times, encompassing archaeology, geology, history, folklore, and art. Located in the heart of Tbilisi, it is about a 5-minute walk from Freedom Square and faces the Parliament Building across the street. The museum was originally established in the 1920s. In 2004, Georgia underwent a reform of its museum system, and "National Museum of Georgia" became a collective name for several national museums. The museum features permanent exhibitions such as "The Underground Treasure Trove" and "The Forbidden Zone of Soviet Memory," and its collection includes pre-Christian gold artifacts and jewels, such as the small golden lion, a national symbol, as well as millennia-old gold and silver artifacts and fossils.
