Церковь Кашвети (церковь святого Георгия) (груз. ქაშვეთის წმინდა გიორგის სახელობის ტაძარი) — православная церковь в центре Тбилиси, расположенная напротив здания Парламента Грузии на проспекте Руставели (д. 9).
Церковь Кашвети строилась с 1904 по 1910 год по проекту тифлисского архитектора Леопольда Бильфельда, взявшего за образец средневековый собор Самтависи. Церковь была воздвигнута на месте другой кирпичной церкви, построенной здесь по заказу семьи Амилахвари в 1753 году и обветшавшей. Фрески церкви были выполнены в 1947 году Ладо Гудиашвили. Считается, что в облике Христа он воплотил портретные черты начинавшего в те годы скульптора Б. Авалишвили

The Kashveti church was constructed between 1904 and 1910 by the architect Leopold Bilfeldt, who based his design on the medieval Samtavisi Cathedral. From Wikipedia.

Church ⛪ of Kashueti The Kashveti Church of St. George (Georgian: ქაშვეთის წმინდა გიორგის სახელობის ტაძარი) is a Georgian Orthodox Church in central Tbilisi, located across from the Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue. The Kashveti church was constructed between 1904 and 1910 by the architect Leopold Bilfeldt, who based his design on the medieval Samtavisi Cathedral. The construction was sponsored by the Georgian nobility and bourgeoisie. Kashveti was built on the site of a damaged church built of brick at the request of the Amilakhvari family in 1753. Significant contributions to the current church’s ornate design were made by N. Agladze. Kashveti’s frescoes were painted by the influential Georgian painter, Lado Gudiashvili, in 1947. The name "kashveti" is derived from Georgian words kva for a "stone" and shva "to give birth." Legend has it the prominent 6th century monk David of Gareja of the Thirteen Assyrian Fathers was accused by a woman of making her a pregnant in Tbilisi. David prophesied his denial would be proved when she gave birth to a stone. She did, and the place received the name of "kashveti."

One of the best churches in Tbilisi built in early 20th centry - copy of another church (Samtavisi church in Igoeti, near Kaspi). It has unique frescoes, painted by famous Georgian painter Lado Gudiashvili. As it is in the center, it's a must for any tourist.

Beautiful church at the center of Tbilisi. Place has some interesting legend in it's name - woman, who gave a birth to a stone, because she falsely accused monk in being a father of her soon-to-be-born-baby. (kva can be translated as a "stone", while shva - "to give birth")
