JOJO’s wonderful trip.

The Bagrati Cathedral is on the Ukmelioni Hill in the old town of Kutaisi. It took us a long time to climb the top of the mountain from the Old Town. The legendary Bagrati Cathedral is just a little bit behind. Surrounded by the ruins of the ruins destroyed by the war, the history of the desolation and majestic like a sad song resounded through the four wild. When it comes to the history of Georgia, people generally focus on the two kings, one is David IV who brought Georgia to the golden age, and the other is David IV. Grandfather, the unification of the Georgian map - Baglat III. Georgia is a member of the Transcaucasian family with a long history. In the 6th century BC, the kingdom of slavery, Iberia, appeared and became a Byzantine country in 300 AD. In 337, the "Saint" King Milian III declared the Orthodox Church as the state religion. After that, Georgia was ruled by Persians, Greeks, and Arabs. The country was divided into small kingdoms. At the end of the 10th century, Bagrat III took over the throne in this historical context. He was born as a good man, and it took only three years to unify Georgia and wait for the state to stabilize. Returning to Kutaisi for infrastructure, his ideal was to build a religious building that transcends the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and he spent a full fifteen years to realize and name it by his own name.
