Vanis Kvabebi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vanis Kvabebi (English Vani's Caves) is a cave monastery in mountain region in south Georgia near Aspindza and the more famous cave city of Vardzia. The complex dates from 8th century and consists of a defensive wall built in 1204 and a maze of tunnels running on several levels in the side of the mountain.
There are also two churches in the complex. A newer stone church that is in quite good shape stands near the top of the wall, and a smaller, domed church is clings from the rock on the level of the highest tunnels.
