Kutaisi: Bagrati & Motsameta Religious Heritage Tour

Start with Bagrati Cathedral, a symbol of Kutaisi and a masterpiece of medieval Georgian design. Admire its hilltop views and learn how it has been restored after centuries of change. Continue to the Church of the Annunciation, a unique site blending Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Built in 1823 in the Baroque style on the site of a royal chapel, it once served Kutaisi’s Catholic community before returning to the Orthodox Church in 1989.
