In the heart of Tbilisi's old town there is a historic Georgian Orthodox cathedral. Sioni Cathedral, located on the left bank of the Kura (Mtkvari) River, was built in the 6th and 7th centuries, but has undergone few reconstructions over the years due to various invasions and natural disasters.
The cathedral has served as a crucial religious and cultural center throughout Tbilisi's history, and its interior is decorated with beautiful frescoes, icons, and mosaics. Tourists can also see the well-known cross of St. Nino, which is said to have brought Christianity to Georgia in the 4th century.
