Gudarekhi

Gudarekhi (Georgian: გუდარეხი) is a village in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia, notable for a nearby monastic complex and archaeological site.

It is located on a hill some 8 km north from the town Tetritsqaro, southwest of Georgia’s capital Tbilisi.

The complex consists of a ruined palace, living premises, a wine cellar, a pilastered building, and several other structures which date from the 12th-13th and 16th-17th centuries.

To the south of the ruined settlement lies the Gudarekhi monastery consisting of a single nave church and a free-standing two-storey bell-tower.

The church formerly possessed an avidly decorated iconostasis which is now on display at the Art Museum of Georgia in Tbilisi.
