Photos of the Medieval Georgian Khobi Monastery
Photos of the Medieval Khobi Monastery and Khobi Georgian Orthodox Cathedral Fresco Paintings, 10th – 13th century, Khobi, Republic of Georgia.
Khobi Monastery
Khobi Monastery is set on a wooded slope above the Khobistskali river 3km from Khobi village. Founded in 554 AD the buildings we see today at Khobi date from the 10th century. Khobi Monastery is still surrounded by its medieval walls and is entered via a medieval gate house that is also a bell tower.
Khobi cathedral dates from the 10th-11th century although much was added to in the 13th century. The church has a cruciform ground plan with a Apse over the altar. The two sides of the cathedral have covered porches with arches. The exterior is simply decorated with geometric Georgian style reliefs around the windows.
