Vardzia, a cave built in 12 century

Vardzia is a cave monastery site in southern Georgia, excavated from the slopes of the Erusheti Mountain. The main period of construction was the second half of the twelfth century. The caves stretch along the cliff for some five hundred meters and in up to nineteen tiers. The monastery was an important cultural center, a place of significant literary and artistic work. There’s five monks still live in this monastery. We managed to encountered one of the monk during our visit there. #cave #georgia #monastery
