Bagrati Cathedral: It is an 11th-century church located in Kutaisi, Georgia. It is a masterpiece of Georgian architecture in the Middle Ages, which is really beautiful. The church is located on the top of the city, so looking down from the church, you can see the entire city of Kutaisi. There is a parking lot outside for those who come to the church. It is free of charge. If you come to Kutaisi, I recommend you to come here. You will definitely be impressed by the beautiful view. #TravelGeorgia #TravelAbroad #kutaisi

One of the oldest buildings in Kutaisi. When we went there, we coincided with the wedding time. 3 couples had a wedding ceremony while we were there. They had a very fun ceremony. See the city from high up, it has a very beautiful view. Since it is a very old building, this is one of the places to visit. #travel #naturalwonders #museums #citydaytours #thingstodo #couplestrip #kutaisi

#kutaisi is one of the largest cities in the country of #georgia located in the caucasian region just between Europe and Asia. It is a city that offers only a park, few squares and an old town. However there is also an airport and transport options to go to the mountains so for tourists in the caucasian region is probably good option for a quick stop. #happynewyear
