This monastery is also called the "Monastery of the Cross" after it's been translated. The name of the monastery is the same as that in Jerusalem. The Jvari Monastery is a Georgian Orthodox monastery that dates back to the sixth century and is close to Mtskheta.
It is one of the historic buildings in Mtskheta that are on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The town of Mtskheta, once the capital of the Kingdom of Iberia, can be seen from the top of the rocky mountain where the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers meet. This is where the Jvari Monastery is located.
Mtskheta is one of the oldest cities in Georgia. The Meschian tribes founded it in the 5th century. Given its cultural and historical importance, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) have named it a World Heritage Site.
This city was the capital of the Georgian Kingdom of Iberia from the third century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. Mtskheta, on the other hand, was where most of Georgia's kings were crowned and buried until the end of the kingdom in the nineteenth century.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is the second largest church building in Georgia. It is also called the Cathedral of the Living Pillar. The largest church building in the country is the Holy Trinity cathedral. Since Christ's mantle is said to have been laid to rest there, Svetitskhoveli is one of the area's most revered places of worship. Svetitskhoveli was also where the Georgian kings were buried and where they were crowned.
