Samtavro is a wonderful monastery.
Clean area, it's great that there is drinking water at the entrance!
Convenient parking for a car.
A blessed place!!!
We were inside. I really liked everything.
And the apartment was rented with a view of the monastery.
The ringing of bells was heard at the same time.
Probably a call to prayer.
Everything is wonderful!

To describe the monasteries and temples in Georgia, one review is not enough, these are just gorgeous places, with a special nature, a special style (all buildings of 4-6 centuries), made of beautiful stones and an unusually beautiful sky. We went to Georgia in September to visit holy places, each place left its own special episode in life. As it turned out, Samtavro has the most pilgrims, because of our modern Saint Gabriel Urgebadze. By the grace of God, we have visited these holy places.

The temple acts as the tomb of the first rulers of Georgia, the remains of King Mirian and his wife Nino are buried here. Many centuries ago, they converted to Christianity with the help of Saint Nina, who, according to legend, converted the entire Georgian people to the faith in 324, the name Samtavro translates as "royal territory". The common area includes the Transfiguration Cathedral, the bell towers of the Mongolian era, the Church of St. Nino. In the center of the city, the shrine is clearly visible at Svetitskhoveli. The history of the shrine dates back to the 4th century and is directly related to Saint Nina. The Samtavr monastery keeps many memories and objects related to the personality of the man who is now called Saint Gabriel of Samtavia, part of the life-giving table is located here, the relics of Saints Abibos of Nekres and Shio of Mgvim are kept, the miraculous icon of St. Nino, the miraculous icon of the Iverian Mother of God, you can also see part of the stone and the grave of St. Nino.

An active convent, the spiritual center of Georgia! It was in this monastery that the most famous Georgian saint in Russia, our contemporary, the Monk Gabriel of Samtavria (Urgebadze), asceticized, his holy relics are located in the Transfiguration Cathedral, a very majestic and ancient Temple. I highly recommend you to visit!

It is magnificent, beautiful, quite monumental, refined and well maintained. I consider this place a must-visit. We came from Yerevan by car, the road is quite comfortable by local standards, I don't remember how long to drive, but not for long. We examined everything in no more than an hour and went to see the next attraction.

Samtavro is not just a word, it is not just a monastery. This is a place where you want to come again and again. And if you find yourself in Georgia, be sure to visit Father Gabriel. The love and kindness of Father Gabriel reigns in this monastery.

A unique, spiritually rich place! Salted. This monastery houses the relics of Saints Abibos of Nekres, the relics of Saints Shio of Mgvim and Gabriel of Samtavria. Pay attention to buses with tourists, when it is better to wait out a lot of tourists, but otherwise it is very sincere and pleasant. You can collect holy water on the territory, right next to the gate.

A magical place. We have found a new Defender of the family - St. Gabriel of Samtauria. We got to Sunday service on forgiveness Sunday. Although the service was in Georgian, but everything was clear to the heart, the relics of the elder gave a feeling of the presence of the Monk next to him. The soul rejoiced and shed tears of joy. A very strong place.

It was the second time to worship the 20th century saint Gabriel Urgebadze. The first one was in 2019, when I found out about it. Recently, I saw an icon of this saint in the Novodevichy Monastery.

A very beautiful monastery, where the relics of the famous Saint Gabriel of Samtavria (Uregbadze) rest. The monastery is worth a visit, especially considering its proximity to Svetitskhoveli.

A few years ago,
Where they merge, they make noise,
Hugging like two sisters,
Streams of Aragva and Chickens,
There was a monastery. Because of the mountain
And now a pedestrian sees it
The pillars of the collapsed gate,
Both the towers and the church vault...
