Metekhi Cathedral - The Virgin Mary Metekhi church is situated on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, atop a cliff plateau. The initial church at this location was likely constructed by Vakhtang Gorgasali, symbolically mirroring the church built on the Virgin Mary’s tomb in Jerusalem’s Gethsemane garden. Legend has it that the former catholicos Kirion moved Saint Shushanik to this church in the 7th century.

Monument of King Vakhtang Gorgasali - Vakhtang I Gorgasali, from the Chosroid dynasty, was a king of Iberia, also known as Kartli, during the latter half of the 5th century and the early 6th century.
Dating Vakhtang’s reign is challenging. Allied with the Byzantine Empire, he led his people in a prolonged struggle against Sasanian Iranian dominance, which resulted in his defeat and the weakening of the Iberian kingdom. Tradition credits him with reorganizing the Georgian Orthodox Church and founding Tbilisi, Georgia’s modern capital. Ivane Javakhishvili dates Vakhtang’s rule to around 449–502, while Cyril Toumanoff suggests 447–522.

Peter was appointed pastor by the Catholicon Domenici, and from that day, the Meskhishvili family served as pastors of the church.
