Katskhi Column, Katskhi, Georgia
THE KATSKHI PILLAR, a natural limestone monolith, rises 130 feet from the ground outside the village of Katskhi in Western Georgia. At the top sits a church, a crypt, three hermit cells, and a curtain wall. The original buildings date back to the 9th century but were abandoned around the 1400s, left to be shrouded in myth and legend.
