A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, the Georgian Orthodox Jvari Monastery (Monastery of the Cross) at Mtskheta, Georgia, was built in the 6th century A.D. The monastery is built in an early tetraconch (Greek for “four shells”) style, meaning the building is shaped like a cross with a dome and a connection to the natural environment around it. The monastery was the first church in Georgia or Armenia to be built in this style, which became common to the area.
