      Hello.Mtskheta was the ancient capital of Kartli, the East Georgian Kingdom from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, and was also the location where Christianity was proclaimed as the official religion of Georgia in 337. To date, it still remains the headquarters of the Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church.

    Yes,Georgian traffic is awefull therefor a tip for some People,rent a driver if you not feeling comfortable, it isn't that expensive and they know secret places.
    For example, little bit further was Stephansminda,nice town, great view on the higgest Mountain of Georgia and a nice church/ abbey with amazing view.
    And the cathredral in Mtsekha is dedicated to Saint Nino Who is burried there

      It is definitely a consideration - We always planned to keep going East so we had no need of an MOT as we would not be coming back into any EU or Green card country to drive home as we were going to ship home from USA or Canada - but if you are out of the UK for longer than 12 months and have no MOT to get insurance you can ship your vehicle from Istanbul to Bristol and then drive to an MOT centre to get it sorted - I hope this helps with your trip planning 🌸

    Excellent video, the legend is a lie.😀 The architect of the church worked on many more projects after this church. The legend is associated with a 20th century writer. He wrote this story in his novel. In fact, such a sentence did not exist in Georgia at all. The legend became so popular that archaeologists dug up the architect's tomb and he had everything on the ground. The hand on the temple is a symbol of the union of architects of that period. It belonged to the architect of this temple.
