Why go
Ateni Sioni stands outside Gori in a rocky valley, with an early cross-domed form and later wall paintings. Its setting and art reward a visit separate from Uplistsikhe.
The church is a place of worship, and interior access can vary. Give the frescoes time without assuming photography is allowed.
