Description

Inside the 9th century basilica at Uplistsikhe (უფლისციხე), near the city of Gori, Georgia.

Of the dozens of churches I visited in Georgia, this was probably one of my favorites; the entire cave city at Uplitsikhe is breathtaking, and unlike Vardzia, is almost completely accessible - not because it isn't "roped off," but because the structure itself is level enough that you can clamber all the way to the top without risking a fatal fall.

This basilica, at the top, is very small; it is a quiet, cool room, which like most Eastern churches smells faintly like dust and candle wax.
