The Bodbe women’s monastery is located just 2 km from the city of love Sighnaghi. It is famous for the fact that it is here that the relics of the most revered Saint Nino in Georgia rest.
At different times, there was a monastery for men, a monastery for women, and then a complete desolation. The temple, originally built in the 4th century over the grave of Saint Nino, unfortunately has not survived. At the moment, you can see the Cathedral of Saint George on this site. Its walls were covered with frescoes depicting scenes from the Testaments. Some of them have survived to this day.
