Urbnisi Church

Situated on the Mtkvari river, Urbnisi was an important city in ancient and early medieval Iberia as Georgia was known to the Greeks and Romans. Urbnisi Church is a 6th-7th-century three-nave basilica which was rebuilt twice in the 10th and 17th centuries. Quite a simple and large church, it is based on twelve strong pillars for three naves. There are many inscriptions on the walls of the monastery which are thought to be the examples of the 6th-7th-century Georgian alphabet.
