Zarzma Monastery

Zarzma Monastery is located 4km from Adigeni, the largest town in Samtskhe Javakheti west of Akhaltsikhe.

Zarzma Monastery was first built in the 8th century, but the remaining part of it was constructed in the 14th century.

Small parts of the old church, such as this relief, remain. There is a 10th century inscription above the entrance to the church commemorating Georgia's military aid to Emperor Basil II of Byzantium against a mutinous general.
