Jvari Monastery: High Aerial View of the Mtskheta Valley

High Aerial View of the Mtskheta Valley. Some 350 m up, the whole valley comes into view: the rivers, the town and the hills fading into the evening haze. Mtskheta is often called Georgia’s holy city: the country’s Christian history began here, and its churches are still places of pilgrimage. The Aragvi comes down from the Greater Caucasus along the Georgian Military Road before it meets the Mtkvari here.
