Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino

The St. George’s Monastery of St. Nino, sometimes also called the Bodbe Monastery, is one of the most important religious sites in Georgia. Today, there is a nunnery where the monastery used to be, and the St. George Cathedral, part of the monastery, holds the remains of St. Nino, Equal to the Apostles, who brought Christianity to Georgia. There is also a new cathedral being built, using much of the same construction methods used to make the most famous cathedrals in Georgia centuries ago. According to legends, St. Nino died at the age of 60 in Bodbe in the year 335 CE. During her lifetime, she had crossed the entire country, healing people and preaching Christianity. She asked to be buried in Georgia, where she had spent her life. Later, King Mirian decided to move her body to Mtskheta, but all efforts were in vain: the coffin couldn’t be moved. Originally, a little temple in honor of the martyr St. George was built on this place, but this temple didn’t survive. In 850, the newer Cathedral that stands today was built on the spot of the older temple. This new temple follows classic design principles, following the best traditions of Georgian architecture. The interior has a few 9th century frescoes, with lots of additions from the 12th through 17th centuries.

Signagi City Walls

It overlooks the most beautiful landscape of Alazani Valley and Caucasus Mountains. Sighnaghi is walled with the 5 km. remnants of 18th-century fortifications. There are two Georgian Orthodox churches in the town dedicated to St. George and to St. Stephen. The town with its environs are home to several historical and cultural monuments, specifically protected by the State since 1975. The local Ethnographic and Archaeological Museum dating from the 1950s was upgraded and developed into a modern-standard exhibition the – Sighnaghi Museum – in 2007. The venerated Bodbe Monastery is located 2 kilometers from Sighnaghi and is a place of pilgrimage due to its association with St. Nino, the 4th-century apostle of Georgia. Sighnaghi developed into a city in the 18th century. However, it’s scientifically proved that this place had been playing an important role in the development of the region since Paleolithic, Late Stone and Bronze Ages. The history of the town and its fortress is associated with the name of King Erekle II. In 1770 the King entered Sighnaghi into the list of cities and made it act the leading part in the defence against Lekis. The wall with the length of about 5 kilometers and 23 towers was constructed in the same period. The fortress could accommodate almost all Kizikhians in that period. Sighnaghi Wall is still considered to be one of the most important historic monuments in Kakheti and throughout Georgia. Today the Wall is reconstructed in its earliest form. In the 19th century Sighnaghi turned into the biggest center of workmanship and trade. It was a cultural center of Eastern Georgia. Several caravan routes crossed there. According to historic data, there were 131 shops and stalls at the central square of the town. Over the past years a rehabilitation project has been carried out in Sighnaghi. Within the scope of the project the town gained it historical format again: restoration of old buildings, revetment of streets, improvement and development of infrastructure. Today Sighnaghi is also called a town-museum because the architectural style that characterized it 200 years ago is still preserved there.
