• Dmanisi Sioni - Visit Dmanisi Sioni, a 6th-century “three-church” basilica with a unique design where the nave is entirely separate from the aisles, creating nearly three distinct churches. Only the central nave maintains its original structure. This church served as the burial site for King Vakhtang III, as well as the Baratashvili and Orbeliani families.

• Bolnisi Museum - Discover the Bolnisi Museum’s exhibition, which showcases the history of the first hominins, the rise of agriculture, ancient metallurgy, Bronze Age cultures, early Christian architecture, and examples of ancient Georgian inscriptions. The museum also features stone and clay artifacts from the medieval era, with the final hall dedicated to the history of the German community that settled in Georgia 200 years ago.
• Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral - Visit Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral, constructed between 478–493, the oldest surviving church building in Georgia. The cathedral is renowned for its inscriptions, among the oldest historical records of the Georgian alphabet. The building’s decoration reflects Persian influence, with hunting scenes and sculptures reminiscent of Iranian art and architecture from the 4th and 5th centuries.
• Tsughrughasheni Monastery - Visit Tsughrughasheni Church, built between 1212–1222 by King Lasha-Giorgi. The church is similar to others from the era but is smaller with a taller cupola and is richly adorned with ornaments.
