TBILISI 第比利斯

• Sameba Holy Trinity Cathedral – commonly known as Sameba, is the main cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church, located in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. Constructed between 1995 and 2004, it is the third-tallest Eastern Orthodox cathedral in the world and one of the largest religious buildings in the world by total area.
• Narikala Fortress – also called the Mother Fortress of Tbilisi, is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi and the Kura River. The interior of the church is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from both the Bible and the history of Georgia.
• Mother of Georgia Statue – this statue is a symbol of Tbilisi. It was erected on Sololaki Hill to celebrate the 1500th anniversary of Tbilisi in 1958. The twenty-metre aluminium statue portrays a woman in Georgian national dress, symbolising the national character.
• Abanotubani – located on the eastern bank of the Mtkvari River at the foot of Narikala fortress, across from Metekhisubani, Abanotubani is an important historic part of the city. According to legend, it is where King Vakhtang Gorgasali’s falcon fell, leading to the discovery of the hot springs and, subsequently, the founding of a new capital.

• Chronicle of Georgia – constructed in 1985, this striking monument depicts scenes from the 3,000-year history of Georgia. It consists of 16 large columns, each reaching around 35 metres (114 feet) in height. The lower sections portray the life of Jesus and other notable figures in Christianity, while the upper parts contain depictions of royalty and rulers from Georgia’s past.

ANANURI 阿纳努里

GUDAURI 古道里

Inside the monument, a large tile mural spans the entire circumference, depicting scenes from Georgian and Russian history.

KAZBEGI卡兹别克

• Gergeti Trinity Church – isolated atop a steep mountain, this church is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. The iconic view of the church against the backdrop of Mount Kazbek is an exemplary instance of the harmonic combination of architecture and nature, typical of Georgian architecture.

MTSKHETA 姆茨赫塔

• Jvari Monastery – one of the oldest churches in Georgia. Jvari is a rare case of an Early Medieval Georgian church that has survived to the present day almost unchanged. The monastery was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
• Svetitskhoveli Cathedral – located in the historic town of Mtskheta, this is the second largest church in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral. Known as the burial site of Christ’s mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and remains among the most venerated places of worship in the region.

TSALKA 察尔卡

• Tsalka Canyon – located at an altitude of 1,100-1,500 metres above sea level and stretching for 8 kilometres. The canyon covers an area of 669 hectares. In 2022, a 240-metre glass bridge was opened over the canyon, offering stunning views of waterfalls and caves along its verdant slopes.

GORI 哥里

• Uplistsikhe Cave Town – meaning “The Fortress of God”, this ancient cave town dates back to the first half of the 1st millennium BC. Uplistsikhe was a large pagan temple city before Christianity was introduced to Georgia. In the 13th century, it was destroyed during the devastating invasion by Genghis Khan’s hordes. In the 19th century, it was rediscovered after being buried under layers of earth and sand. Extensive excavation and restoration efforts have since revived this outstanding historical monument.

BAKU 巴库

• Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain) – located north of Baku, around 23 km from the Old Town. Legend has it that it has been on fire since the 1950s when a shepherd accidentally ignited a patch of natural gas. It’s best visited in the early evening to witness the three-metre-high flames erupting from the sandstone hill.
• Atashgah of Baku – built by the Persians in the 17th century, this temple has served various purposes over the centuries, including as a place of worship for Hindus and Sikhs. An eternal flame, fuelled by natural petroleum reserves, burned here until 1969, after which it was reignited using gas piped in from Baku. The site was converted into a museum in 1975.
• Gobustan National Park – officially known as the Gobustan Rock Art Cultural Landscape, this archaeological park is situated around 67 km south of Baku. Established in 1966 and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, the park features the world’s longest continuous tradition of cave art, dating back to the Palaeolithic era.

SHEKI 舍基

• Sheki Khan’s Palace – a summer residence for the Sheki Khans, built in 1797 by Muhammed Hasan Khan.

On 7th July 2019, the Historic Centre of Sheki, including the Khan’s Palace, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

LAKE SEVAN 

• Lake Sevan – the largest lake in the Caucasus and the largest alpine freshwater lake in the region. The name “Sevan” derives from the black materials used to build the monastery on the island. In 305 AD, the “Church of the Holy Resurrection” was built here. By the 9th century, two similar churches were built – the “Church of the Apostles” and the “Church of Our Lady”. As the lake’s water levels dropped, the island became a peninsula, and the Holy Resurrection Church collapsed due to an earthquake. Only the two remaining churches still stand on the hillside.

KOTAYK

• Geghard Cave Monastery – the name Geghard means “Spear”. It is believed that the spear used to pierce Christ’s side was brought here, and the monastery was thereafter called Geghardavank. The spear is now displayed at the Echmiadzin Treasury. The main chapel of the monastery complex was built in 1215, partly carved into the adjacent mountain, and it is surrounded by cliffs. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

DILIJAN 

• Sanahin Monastery – its name translates as ‘this one is older than that one’, referencing a claim that it predates the neighbouring Haghpat Monastery.
• Temple of Garni – the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. It is the best-known structure and symbol of pre-Christian Armenia.
• Geghard Monastery – founded in the 4th century, with its main chapel built in the 13th century. Previously known as the Cave Monastery, it was renamed after the spear used to pierce Christ, which was kept here for 500 years before being moved to the Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Vagharshapat. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

YEREVAN 

• Etchmiadzin Cathedral – the mother church of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Built in the early 4th century by Saint Gregory the Illuminator after the adoption of Christianity as a state religion by King Tiridates III. The cathedral was constructed over a pagan temple, symbolising Armenia’s conversion from paganism to Christianity.
