Description
David Gareja is a rock-hewn Georgian Orthodox monastery complex located in the Kakheti region of Eastern Georgia, on the half-desert slopes of Mount Gareja on the edge of Iori Plateau, some 60–70 km southeast of Georgia's capital Tbilisi. The complex includes hundreds of cells, churches, chapels, refectories and living quarters hollowed out of the rock face.
Part of the complex of David Gareja (Bertubani Monastery) is located in the borderline's zone between Georgia and Azerbaijan and has become subject to a border dispute between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
The complex was founded in the 6th century by St. David Garejeli, one of thirteen Assyrian monks who arrived in the country at the same time.
