Summary

Description
English: Samtavisi Cathedral — an 11th century Georgian Orthodox cathedral in the region of Shida Kartli, in eastern Georgia.
  • The cathedral is now one of the centers of the Eparchy of Samtavisi and Gori of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The cathedral is located on the left bank of the Lekhura River, some 11km of the town of Kaspi.
  • According to a Georgian tradition, the first monastery on this place was founded by the Assyrian missionary Isidore in 572 and later rebuilt in the 10th century. Neither of these buildings has survived however. The earliest extant structures date to the eleventh century, the main edifice being built in 1030 as revealed by a now lost stone inscription. The cathedral was built by a local bishop and a skilful architect Hilarion who also designed the nearby church of Ashuriani. The Cathedral was partially reconstructed in the 15th and 19th centuries, after being heavily damaged by earthquakes.
  • The masterly decorated eastern façade is the only part of the original building that has survived.
