| Description | Although the Akhali new Shuamta monastery was closed during our visit, we were still free to walk around in it's grounds. Here is a study in pillars around the main monastery building- as you can see, some restoration work is still in progress. The new, Akhali Shuamta Monastery was built by Tinatin Gurieli, the wife of King Levan II (1520-1574). The Church had a dome and was designed in the form of a cross in plan. It was built of brick; the inner walls were decorated with paintings and some of the portraits of the founders have been preserved. The Church was restored by Irakli II. The complex includes also a bell-tower and some minor buildings. A member of the Chavchavadze (a Georgian noble family) was buried here. (Shuamta, Kakheti region, Georgia, Sept. 2016) |
