Getting There
Mtsvane Monastery (Green Monastery) is located 11 kilometers from Borjomi in Georgia’s Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
What to Expect
The Monastery is popular with religious pilgrims. If you are passing through Borjomi and looking for an escape from urban life, the peaceful woods, gently flowing river, and fresh air of the Monastery will leave you speechless.
History
In the XVI century, during the invasion of Shah Tahmasp the Monastery was raided, and monks were tortured and killed.
In the XX century, the church was rehabilitated, and in 2002 the Father’s Monastery was restored.
