Take a step back into medieval times by visiting the Georgian Orthodox Sapara Monastery, located in Samtskhe-Javakheti. Believed to be built during or before 10th century, the monastery was once the residence of the prominent Jakeli family. Inside the monastery’s twelve churches, visitors can immerse themselves in historical church paintings and magical colors that are still intact. The Sapara Monastery is home to a complex of buildings, including the Chapel of Saint Stephanie, Sapara Castle, bell tower, and Saint George Church.
