Why go

Katskhi Church stands in the same village as Katskhi Pillar but is a distinct building with an unusual multi-apsed plan and carved details. It has its own long monastic history.

Give the church time apart from the ground-level pillar viewpoint. It is an active religious site, so visitor access may change during services.
