The Bodbi Monastery is located in the eastern part of Georgia - Kakheti, two kilometers from the city of Sighnaghi, over the Alazani Valley. It was founded at the end of the 4th century, after the death of the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Nino, in the place that the saint chose as her last refuge.

Nino converted to Christianity, the Georgian king Mirian wanted to transfer the body of the great enlightener to the capital - Mtskheta, but two hundred people could not move the remains. The grave of St. Nino became a particularly revered place, a temple was built above it - a majestic basilica.

Sighnaghi is a small cozy town in eastern Georgia, located on a mountainside in the historical region of Kakheti.

By the stairs arranged nearby, you can climb the walls, from where you can see the city and Alazani Valley.
