Basilica of Anchiskhati, Tbilisi, Georgia
Tbilisi’s oldest surviving church is perhaps its loveliest. Built by King Gorgasali’s son Dachi in the 6th century, it’s a three-nave basilica whose weathered frescoes and walls of big stone blocks emphatically bespeak its age. The church’s name comes from the icon of Anchi Cathedral in Klarjeti, which was brought here in the 17th century.
