"I gazed at the Metekhi Church with its giant equestrian statue of King Vakhtang Gorgasali overlooking the Mtkvari River; the simple, domed-shaped brick building marks the site where the king built his palace when he made Tbilisi his capital in the fifth century, is popular with locals, and is said to be the burial site of the fifth-century martyr St. Shushanik." - Matthew Kepnes
