St.George convent in Birtvisi





You can combine the trip to Birtvisi mountain region with visiting St.George convent in Birtvisi.
But it's better to do if you have a cross-country vehicle.
Otherways, it will be a bit hard to visit both objects in one day, the convent is slightly away from the main road to Birtvisi.
I still haven't found any information about the date of building the convent and its history.
From a quantity of buildings, an old church (there are divine services in it now) and a tower nearby are well extant.
They are situated in one of the terraces on a mountainside.
