Daba - monastery
Daba St. George's Church, also known as Daba Monastery, is located in the village of Daba in the Borjomi municipality, in south-central Georgia. The church is a characteristic monument of Georgian architecture of the 14th century. Despite possessing a simple plan and architectural form, Daba Church displays craftsmanship of extremely high quality, with fine ashlar facing and ample stonework decoration. The rectangular frame and ornamental motifs of the western entrance recall Seljuk architectural traditions.
This church is one of the ancient and strongest churches in Georgia, and it is nestled in a dense forest, making it not visible from the road. It is partially covered by a cave.
There is a legend associated with the church, according to which doors were made for the church several times but with no result, as they always fell down.
