This church is the oldest in T'bilisi at approximately 1,500 years old. It
is called the 'Anchiskhati' and very much possesses Roman features of
architecture especially on the inside. I only felt comfortable taking
outside pictures because a service was happening on the inside at the time.

Hi again,
ReplyDeleteSorry to be a pain, but that isn't Sioni Cathedral. It is Anchiskhati, the oldest church in Tbilisi (not Georgia).

Sioni is quite a bit larger and about 500 yards to the south east, along the road to Maidan.

And yes, I'm in love with Georgia too.
All the best,
Marcus
No, I thank you for the correction. I think I need a new tour guide as I'm getting the names wrong!
ReplyDeleteI'm already plotting how I can return here once I leave and/or retire here. It's still difficult for me to verbalize why this country has affected me so positively.
