Anchiskhati Basilica

This ancient historical church is a breathtakingly beautiful landmark, both inside and out. The exterior offers plenty of benches for quiet contemplation and reflection. The surrounding area is bustling with various stores, including souvenir shops, coffeehouses, and gift stores. Please note that there are some restrictions to be aware of when visiting the church: no photography is allowed inside, pets are not permitted, and smoking is also prohibited. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere was tolerable and well worth the visit.

Look like a very ancient church and there should not be any photography inside. But the interior is where it is captivating. With very old scripts, painting, tools etc kept in their original state without refurbishment like many other churches. There are many retail stall outside selling souvenir. Recommended!

Very nice basilica. Historical. Well maintained. Must visit

The view from outside of The Anchiskhati Basilica of St Mary, the oldest surviving church in Tbilisi, Georgia. It belongs to the Georgian Orthodox Church and dates from the sixth century. Below you can see the point where 2 rivers merge and join. I think that entrance is free here but you need to pay for parking.

Amazing place with fascinating history. It was built 1500 years ago. Priest was really king and hospitable and told us a lot about church history

Nice church, worth seing if you are near. Its the oldest church in Tbilisi so you'll see a lot of the old architechture and relics.

The oldest church in Tbilisi. For its historical significance alone it’s worth dropping by. At the time I visited there was a funeral happening so we could not enter but the outside and surrounding grounds itself are quite impressive and beautiful. You can clearly see the parts of the structure that was rebuilt over time with the difference in bricks and stones. I’ve walked by both in the day and night. At night it’s lit up.

Very beautiful and quiet inside. Impressive how they can make your eyes pop with a simple architectural style. Also, the garden patio might be gorgeous in the summer.
