梨花落🍀The Monastery of the Cross (Jvari Church) was built at the end of the 6th century AD. It is the place where Saint Nino first erected a cross when Christianity was introduced to Georgia in the 4th century AD. Lermontov, a great Russian poet, wrote the famous poem "The Child Monk" here. The church houses a portrait of Saint Nino and a huge wooden cross called the Cross of Saint Nino, which attracts a large number of believers to make pilgrimages. The monastery is located on a rocky mountaintop near the ancient city of Mtskheta, overlooking the confluence of the Kura River and the Aragvi River and the ancient city of Mtskheta.

滕凯舟It was Sunday when we went there. The church was in service and only locals were allowed in. The grass outside was very comfortable. Listening to the hymns from the church and basking in the warm winter sun made me feel very happy. There was a small square outside the church. There were horse-drawn carriages and children playing football. Everything looked very natural and leisurely.
4.7/5梨花落🍀Ananuri Fortress, which was featured on the cover of Lonely Planet - Georgia, is an ancient castle built in the 13th century. It was once the private castle of the lord of the Aragvi feudal dynasty and also a military fortress. The Aragvi dynasty was overthrown in the 18th century, and the place was occupied by subsequent rulers. It remained a castle fortress until the 19th century, and the broken walls and ruins tell of the war and glory of the past. From a small slope without guardrails on the side of the wall, you can climb up the tower and take pictures of the castle and the lake from the small hole in the tower. The stone stairs to the tower can only accommodate one person, and you need to use your hands and feet.
4.6/5滕凯舟Stalin was a real person. The memorial has been built for more than 60 years. People who admire him admire him very much because he led the Soviet Union to defeat Hitler. Otherwise, Europe would be called Texas now. People who hate him hate him very much. His statue in Gori was also demolished a few years ago. This museum will not last many years. So it is quite interesting to come and see it. After reading it, I remembered a poem: No tombs of heroes in Wuling, no flowers and no wine, just hoeing the fields.
4.8/5梨花落🍀Sighnaghi is a beautiful, mysterious and legendary tourist town in the east. It is also known as the Royal Town. It was the seat of the Georgian royal family in the second century BC. Because there is a marriage registration agency that works 24 hours a day (but in fact, the marriage registration agency is not open 24 hours a day), Sighnaghi is also called the City of Love by the locals. The town has preserved most of the city walls and 23 towers from the 18th century.
4.8/5梨花落🍀Not far from Signari, the Bodbe Monastery is the burial place of St. Nino, who led Georgia to convert to Christianity. It is also one of the important pilgrimage sites in Georgia. Photography is not allowed in the monastery. People line up devoutly to pray and make wishes to the burial place of St. Nino. It is said that the wishes are very effective. After leaving the monastery and walking down, you can see a spring. The locals believe that this is a holy spring, which is said to have gushed out after St. Nino prayed.
