About Samtavro Monastery

A compact monastery complex housing the Church of the Transfiguration, the tomb of King Mirian, and a small convent. The 4th-century origins are attributed to Saint Nino. The site remains active, with nuns living on the grounds.

💡 Look for the 4th-century stone cross inside the church, said to have been raised by Saint Nino. The garden behind the church has a peaceful, almost wild feel, with old tombstones and grapevines.

Opening hours: 09:00-18:00 daily
