The Kashveti Church of St. George is a Georgian Orthodox church in central Tbilisi, located across from the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue. The construction of the Church was completed in 1910. The project for Kashveti was developed by L. Bilfeldt, who based his design on the older Samtavisi Cathedral. Significant contributions to the Church’s design were made by N. Agladze. Kashveti’s frescoes were painted by the influential Georgian painter, Lado Gudiashvili in 1947.
