Gelati Monastery is located just two kilometers from Kutaisi. It stands on a hill in a very picturesque area with a beautiful view of the mountains. The monastery was founded by King David. In the future, it was attacked and repeatedly destroyed, but at one time it was a cultural center, which even had its own academy. I liked the monastery very much. Unusual frescoes, mosaics inside, which are considered among the best in Georgia, several churches, each of which feels the amazing energy of this place. Be sure to go to the old entrance to the monastery where David the Builder is buried and climb the bell tower. In short, I highly recommend visiting! By the way, admission is free for tourists.
