Itinerary
1
Bolnisi Sioni Cathedral
Bolnisi Zion (Sioni) is the oldest temple of the V century, which is located in the village of Bolnisi and is an important monument of Georgian architecture, since it was Bolnisi Zion that preserved for us the oldest inscription on the alphabet “asomtavruli“ and the Bolnisi Cross.
1 hour
2
St. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Church
The Peter and Paul Church, which became for Bolnisi the most important event of the immediate past, as another religious center was added to already existing churches and temples. Rising to the skies, a magnificent temple like a pearl adorns Mount Elias, where Kvemo Kartli is entirely visible like on the palm of the hand, filling visitors with indelible impressions.
1 hour
3
Bolnisi Museum
The Bolnisi Museum of Local History is a place where the past of this city is carefully represented. The museum stores all literary, creative or working materials, with which the Germans created a unique culture in the place of Bolnisi and left as an example to the Georgian people.

Bolnisi
Bolnisi is a city that for a century has been a place of residence for Germans in the neighborhood with Georgians. Escaped from adversity, the Germans settled on the flavoured territory of Bolnisi, founded the commune Katharinenfeld, where everything was created with great work and love, as evidenced by the almost extant homes, huge wine cellars and water mills.
