Mtskheta Review

Mtsherta is the ancient capital of Georgia and has two world heritage sites. First, it is located at the cross-over of the Kula and Aragvi rivers, opposite the intersection of the Cross Monastery, which overlooks the entire Old Town of Mtsherta and the intersection of the two rivers. The church is some distance from the old town and needs to be taken by taxi from the city. Next is the Pillar of Life in the city center. The church has a history of thousands of years and is the most important church in Georgia. In the 4th century, Christianity became the state religion of Georgia, and the establishment of the church also marked the acceptance of Christianity by Georgia.

The small town of Mtsjeta is a small area, and a large parking lot and limited commercial stalls around it form the lively area of the town. In addition, the town can basically be regarded as a peaceful and peaceful place to live. Mtkvari and Aragvi, located north of Tbilisi, is one of the oldest cities in Georgia and a holy site for Georgian Christianity. It was listed as a world cultural relics by UNESCO in 1994 due to its numerous historical monuments and historical significance. Production. Legend has it that Mtskheta, the son of the Georgian ancestor Karlos, came from Mtskheta, the capital of Georgia before the construction of the city of Tbilisi in the 3rd century BC. It was not until the 5th century AD that the capital was migrated to Tbilisi. Although Mtskhta was no longer the capital of Georgia, its status in Georgia did not waver, and when Christianity was introduced in the fourth century, it became the capital of Georgia as the center and birthplace of Christianity. The Christian Church in Georgia has been there since 327 AD, and Mtsheta is a well-deserved Christian holy site in Georgia and the spiritual capital of Christians, with three churches of great importance in Georgian Christianity. These three churches are the main attractions we visit today.

The small town of Mtskhta roamed for a day. It is said that Jesus' robe was buried here, and it is also a holy place in the hearts of the churches. In the 1st century, Jesus was crucified. A Jew named Elisa brought Jesus' robe back to Georgia. His sister, who saw the holy things too excited and uncontrollable, died on the spot, and clutched the robe in his hand when he died, so he had to be buried together. After that, a huge cedar grew out of the cemetery, and the seven pillars of the church were taken from this tree and built the church. The seventh pillar suddenly floated in mid-air, and it was said that the holy liquid from the seventh pillar of the Holy Spirit could cure the disease. This is the name of the Church of Life. The church is now rebuilt in the 11th century, with a unique quaint dome and step-style structure in the Caucasus. The surrounding khaki walls guard the church, with a strong sense of history and religion. Entering the interior of the church requires neatly dressed and quiet. The walls in the church are decorated with Orthodox religious paintings, many decorated with vine patterns. The traditional culture of winemaking is enough to see. 🌟 [Ancient City] Walk in the old city of Mtskhta, quiet and clean alleys, exquisite and peaceful cabins, walk around freely, far around the mountains, the mountains are undulating, the color of the light blue is a little shallow, it looks good to stop, It is not magnificent or poor. It is refreshing. The birds in the air are far away. You will not worry about getting lost. When you look up, you can see the light blue spire of the church. You turn a few bends and come to the souvenir street in the center of the town. This is the only place where tourists are like weaving. Handmade furry products, honey jams are dazzling, pottery bottles and carpets are colorful, the price is not expensive, and I am satisfied with buying a few pieces. 🍇 [Food] There is also a food that can be seen everywhere in Georgia. At first glance, it is thought to be a dry sausage. It is actually a dessert snack, and the dried fruit such as walnuts are worn with threads. The rich fruit berry is wrapped in the berries. The taste is slightly different. When you eat, you slice it and chew it sour and sweet. 🚗 [Transportation] We took the bus from the DIDUBE station in Tbilisi to Mts. Herta's minibus (Mtskheta), there are many shifts, about 15 minutes. Very cost-effective. Mtskheta is not big, the attractions are within walking distance #Never forget 2021 #Check in interesting place name #World Heritage Tour

To go to Mtskhta, the most cost-saving way is to take the subway to Didube station, then you can choose to take the bus, carpool or chartered car to go, Tbilisi's subway model is particularly simple, like the Russia we have been to, just enter the station swipe card, out of the station does not need to swipe card, No matter how many stations are taken, it is unified to 0.5 Larry, and there are only two subway lines in Tbilisi, strictly speaking, there is only one main line of the largest, so don't worry too much about the phenomenon of traffic. ✏️ After arriving at Didube, there are two choices: 1. Take a 1 Larry/person bus. But after the bus goes to town, you still have to find a chartered driver to go to Holy Cross Abbey, because the monastery is on the mountain, but it is not cheaper to find the price there. 2. Talk about a good price chartered car. The driver takes you to Holy Cross Abbey, then takes you to town, and when you play, takes you back here, and then collects money, 20 Larrys/person, a total of 40 Larrys. It seems to be right to say that the Holy Cross Abbey does need to take another taxi. Even if it is cheaper to take a taxi there, it will save time and effort to start chartering a car here. The most important thing is that the price of 40 Larry is really reasonable. The total is only about 100 yuan. We are two people. If many people are lower per capita, it is really not expensive. Later, the actual test found that the total chartered car has been at least 4 hours, which is indeed particularly cost-effective. The consumption of the town is low, and the per capita meal is only about 30 yuan. The churches that count as attractions are free to enter, so less than 100 per person can play delicious food in a day, don't miss it!
