Rüdiger BenninghausThe Metekhi Church in Tbilisi (Georgia) towers over the Mtkvari (Kura) River; in front of it stands the equestrian statue of the Georgian King Vakhtang I Gorgasali, who is regarded as the founder of Tbilisi.
The ensemble comprising the church and the statue is one of the city’s landmarks.
The church was built in the 13th century, destroyed by the Mongols and rebuilt in 1289.
