About Sights – St. George’s Church and Monastery complex in the village of Ubisa

Posted by Bassa's Blog on 14/04/2013 · 6 Comments

St. George’s Monastery is situated in the village of Ubisa (Georgian: უბისა) in the Imereti region of Georgia.

The monastic complex comprises the 9th-century St. George’s Monastery founded by St. Gregory, a tower and fragments of a 12th-century defensive wall.

The four-storey tower was built by Simon Chkondideli in 1141.

The monastery contains a unique set of murals from the late 14th century that are influenced by art from the Byzantine period and depict the Annunciation, Palm Sunday, the Crucifixion of Christ, the Resurrection and “The Last Supper”.

GEORGIA ABOUT recommends a visit to St. George’s Church and Monastery complex – the murals are beautiful!
