Beautiful place

Tsugrugasheni (წუღრუღაშენი) is a 13th-century temple in the Bolnisi District of Georgia. In fact, it is a monastery, but the monastery buildings are small and inconspicuous, so it is more logical to perceive the Tsugrugasheni as a temple. Like the temples of Pitareti or Gudareha, it represents, as it were, the final chord of Georgian architecture of the Golden Age. Now the temple appeared to be in the shadow of the famous Bolnisi Zion and became a kind of application to it.StoryIt is known that the temple was built somewhere between 1212 and 1222, during the reign of George IV. There is an assumption that later it was slightly rebuilt, because the decoration of the dome is somewhat different in style from the design of the facades. This is almost everything that is known about the history of this place.The etymology of the name is not very clear. The -shan formant may have the meaning of build - in this form it is also found in the Armenian language, but came from Pahlavi (Middle Persian). It is present, for example, in the name BadakhshanThe temple is located 11 kilometers from the city of Bolnisi and 2 kilometers from the village of Bolnisi - east of the river. It is clearly visible from the village of Bolnisi and from the Bolnisi-Poladauri road. Near almost no buildings, the place is quite deserted.

Its a beautiful place. The beautiful temple is a dome decorated with high-end decoration. A good atmosphere for spiritual calm. Years of monastic life have been restored. There are monks and obedient people. The temple hall is known for various ancient temples.

It is reminiscent of the temples of Fitar and Bethany. The dome throat decorations are extraordinarily beautiful. Among the temples built during the reign of Lasha-George is one of the distinguished buildings. Beautiful views.

Amazing decorations, a miracle.

The most beautiful of the monasteries of Georgia
