Mtskheta (Georgian: მცხეთა), one of the oldest cities of the country of Georgia (in Kartli province of Eastern Georgia), is located approximately 20 kilometers north of Tbilisi at the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura rivers. The city (population 19,423 as of January 1, 2008) is now the administrative centre of the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region. Due to its historical significance and numerous ancient monuments, the Historical Monuments of Mtskheta became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
The old city lies at the confluence of the rivers Mtkvari and Aragvi. The rare blend of cultural values had ruled in this part of the world since the Bronze Age until prosperous Christian era over the unique eclectic lifestyle creating the mood of the town which is as old as the history of Georgia. Mtskheta is the most religious city of Georgia as it has been the shrine of pagan idols since times immemorial and it is where Christianity in Georgia takes its origin.
Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (11th century, see photo) and Jvari Monastery (6th century) in Mtskheta are amongst the most significant monuments of Georgian Christian architecture, and are historically significant in the development of medieval architecture throughout the Caucasus.
In the outskirts of Mtskheta are the ruins of Armaztsikhe fortress (3rd century BC), the Armaztsikhe acropolis (dating to the late 1st millennium BC), remains of a Pompey's bridge (according to legends built by Roman legionnaires of Pompey the Great in 1st century BC), the fragmentary remains of a royal palace (1st--3rd century AD), a nearby tomb of the 1st century AD, a small church of the 4th century, the Samtavro Monastery (11th century), and the fortress of Bebris Tsikhe (14th century). The Institute of Archaeology, and the garden of Mikheil Mamulashvili are also worthy of note...

Inside the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, Mtskheta, Georgia.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (Georgian: სვეტიცხოვლის საკათედრო ტაძარი, svet'icxovlis sak'atedro t'adzari; literally the Cathedral of the Living Pillar) is an Eastern Orthodox cathedral located in the historic town of Mtskheta, Georgia, to the northwest of the Georgian capital Tbilisi. A masterpiece of the Early Middle Ages, Svetitskhoveli is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It is currently the second largest church building in Georgia, after the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
Known as the burial site of Christ's mantle, Svetitskhoveli has long been one of the principal Georgian Orthodox churches and is among the most venerated places of worship in the region. The present structure was completed in 1029 by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze, although the site itself dates back to the early fourth century.
Svetitskhoveli is considered an endangered cultural landmark; it has survived a variety of adversities, and many of its priceless frescoes have been lost due to being razed and whitewashed by the Russian Imperial authorities.

Georgia - Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta
Embedded subtitles in English – Ελληνικοί υπότιτλοι
The original church was built in the 4th century. St. Nino had chosen the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers as the place of the first Georgian Church. In Georgian sveti means pillar and tskhoveli means life-giving hence the name of the cathedral. Ten Georgian kings are buried in the Cathedral. Also, Christ's robe is believed to be buried here.
Η αρχική εκκλησία χτίστηκε τον 4ο αι. Η Αγία Νίνα επέλεξε τη συμβολή των ποταμών Mtkvari και Aragvi ως τοποθεσία της πρώτης γεωργιανής εκκλησίας. Στα γεωργιανά “σβέτι” σημαίνει πυλώνας και “τσχόβελι” σημαίνει δίνω ζωή. Δέκα Γεωργιανοί βασιλείς έχουν ταφεί στον καθεδρικό ναό. Επίσης πιστεύεται ότι εδώ είναι θαμμένος ο χιτώνας του Χριστού.
