The Gergeti Trinity Church was built in the 14th century by an unknown architect, and is the only cross-cupola church in Khevi province. The Church, sits at an altitude of 2,170 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the towering peak of Mount Kazbegi, one of the highest in the Caucasus.
