Bagrati Cathedral

The Bagrati Cathedral in Kutaisi is one of Georgia’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the 11th century during the reign of King Bagrat III, it stands proudly on Ukimerioni Hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the city below. Although it suffered heavy damage over the centuries, its recent restoration has revived much of its original beauty. The mix of ancient stonework and modern touches makes it a fascinating place to visit both for its historical importance and its peaceful atmosphere. Definitely a must-see in Kutaisi!

Bagrati Cathedral is one of the most iconic places in Kutaisi. We visited around sunset, and the view from the top was absolutely beautiful. The cathedral is located on a hill, and the golden light over the city made the atmosphere feel peaceful and relaxing. Inside the church, the feeling was very spiritual and calm. It’s a quiet space that gives a strong sense of history and respect. After that, we walked around to the back of the church and followed a small path uphill. From there, we found a beautiful open spot with a full view of the river and the city. It was one of the best viewpoints we discovered during our trip. The area around the cathedral is clean and quiet. A great place to take photos, enjoy the breeze, or just sit and relax. We got there easily using Yandex Go, which was fast and affordable from the city center. Although it didn’t take long to explore, it’s a place that stays with you. Peaceful, scenic, and definitely worth visiting while you’re in Kutaisi

Wonderful cathedral and one of the old churches. The current construction is sort of mixed with the new structure added to support the existing one and stands out .the view front the mount of the town below is awesome

Kutaisi's premier cathedral is big and impressive. It is surrounded by the picturesque ruins of a royal castle, which are fun to explore. Stunning views of Kutaisi can also be found on the site. Definitely a must see sight in Kutaisi.

A beautiful 11th century cathedral sitting on the hill in Kutaisi city is simply beautiful. We came in the evening and the evening rays of sun gave the church a warm and serene atmosphere. It is full of stories and worth for us to know about. For me, it is a must visit sightseeing if you are in Kutaisi.

Beautiful cathedral and background story. I wish there was information and details on the different pieces of art inside similar to what we have in a museum. It looks unique. We were a bit harassed at the exit by the old people sitting there demanding (literally demanding) money.

Huge church beautifully restored. Inside the church, you'll find the much debated shroud of Turin. Very interesting visit. We even caught 2 weddings during our short visit.

It's a very calm and serene place, located at the top of a small hill. Hence will offer a great view of the city from top, also a great spots to click some pics. The cathedral with its unique appearance in the green background is awsome. Inside the cathedral is very calm and spiritual. It's a must visit place in kutasi.
