Sacred Sites of Imereti
Imereti's spiritual heritage centers on the 11th-century Bagrati Cathedral and the UNESCO-listed Gelati Monastery, known for its medieval academy and mosaics. The collection includes the Katskhi Pillar, a 40-meter limestone monolith with a remote hermitage, and the Motsameta Monastery overlooking the Tskhaltsitela River. Cultural diversity is represented by the 19th-century Kutaisi Synagogue, while the Ubisa Monastery complex is noted for its unique 14th-century frescoes.
