Why visit
Dzveli Shuamta brings a fifth-century basilica and later domed churches into one forest clearing. It offers a very different architectural period from Ikalto and Gremi.
What to expect
The site is near New Shuamta, but give the old complex its own time. Follow any worship or photography guidance on arrival.
