Tsromi Church

An early seventh-century church in central Georgia notable as an important step in the development of the domed church form. Its interior once held a remarkable mosaic in the apse, a rare survival from the period, though only fragments remain today. The building suffered heavy damage in later earthquakes and stands partly ruined, yet its bold structural ideas influenced subsequent Georgian architecture. Set in a quiet rural landscape, the church draws those interested in the origins of the medieval building traditions of the Caucasus.
