PETER AND PAUL MONASTERY

Elia Bolnisi

Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul (Region of Kvemo Kartli)

Church of Saints Peter and Paul and the monastery complex (Georg. ელიას მთის მონასტერი) was built on the top of Mount Elia, at an altitude of 820 meters above sea level, from where the most beautiful places of the area open up. This place is rich in history. Since ancient times, there was a small church in the name of the apostles Peter and Paul. Stone terraces on the mountain, where vineyards have been planted and vines of various varieties have been grafted, are simply mesmerizing and every tourist will want to see this with their own eyes. These terraced vineyards have no analogues in the country. The monastery has its own cellar, because monastery winemaking occupies a special place in the history of Georgia.
