Touring Mtskheta Georgia- A glimpse around Mtskheta, Georgia- one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, and Georgia's Holy City.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is an Orthodox Christian cathedral located in the historic town of Mtskheta, Georgia, to the northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. A masterpiece of the Early and High Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is currently the second largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Known as the burial site of the claimed Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and is among the most venerated places of worship in the region. Throughout the centuries, the cathedral served as the burial place for kings. The present cross-in-square structure was completed between 1010 and 1029 by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze, although the site itself dates back to the early fourth century. The exterior archature of the cathedral is a well-preserved example of typical decorations of the 11th century.

Mtskheta is het religieuze hart van Georgië. De Jvari kerk en de Svetitskhoveli kathedraal zijn de spirituele hoogtepunten. Mtskheta is absoluut een bezoekje waard en is ook makkelijk te bereiken vanuit Tbilisi.
