Summary edit

Description The new Shuamta Monastery was unfortunately closed when we visited, much to my, and my taxi driver's disappointment, especially after all his animated gestures. Here is a view of the main tower behind the boundary wall. The Shuamta monastery lies near Telavi, on the wooded slope of the Tsivgombori mountain. The Monastery got its name because of its site –it is surrounded from three sides by the mountains. Shuamta’ means – among the mountains. The monastery was founded in the XVI century by the king of Kakheti leon and his wife Tinatin. Queen Tinatin was tonsured a nun in the same Monastery and is Buried there.
