Darkhi St.George's Comples

Church Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Stefantsminda district

Church Church

The St. George shrine of Darkia stands in the eastern part of the complex. The building is an irregular quadrangle in plan (5.3 × 4.8 m). On its south wall rise three ritual pillars; the eastern pillar is the tallest, and a large boulder is laid across the other two. In the shrine's east wall is a niche, around which are built in the so-called "holy stones", brought here from elsewhere. On the east wall lies a cornice stone worked with a row of arches, brought from another church; above the niche are slabs of slate and rock crystal and a stone cross.
