David-Gareja is a rock-cut monastery complex in a desert area at the border with Azerbaijan. The very first monastery was founded by St. David, one of the Thirteen Syrian Fathers who came to Georgia for strengthening Christian faith. The complex consists of thirteen monasteries. Of particular interest are the complexes of Lavra and Udabno. Being the centre of religious and cultural life in the past, today these sites surprise us with their architectural design and unique murals of the 10th – 11th cc. According to the belief, visiting David-Gareja three times can be equalled to a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. The monastery remains active today and serves as a popular destination of tourism and pilgrimage.
