A fantastic view from above of Kutaisi

The Bagrati Cathedral in Kutaisi is located on a hill, providing a beautiful view of the city, the Racha mountain range, and the Rioni River. Visitors can enjoy the view of Kutaisi from the area around the cathedral, which is also suitable for a picnic. The cathedral is one of the main hallmarks of Kutaisi and is considered one of the four Great Cathedrals of Georgia. It is a masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture and started a new era in the early medieval history of Georgian temple architecture. The cathedral was built in the early years of the 11th century, during the reign of King Bagrat III, to commemorate the unification of Georgia. The temple was partially ruined for centuries and was restored in 2012, mainly preserving the original image and style of the building.
