Highlights
Kvemo Kartli (“kwemo“ - the lower one) is historically one of the most important regions of Georgia. This is a region whose artifacts give a clearer outline of the European identity of Georgians. This is an area where a century ago two independent cultures, Georgian and German, merging with each other, have survived to this day. The land where every monument, church, monastery, every carving is the response of a rich Georgian culture.
in order to open a new culture, to make a journey into the past and to feel the charm of assimilation of cultures, to imagine clearly the reality in which the Germans built their culture on a foreign land with reverence, caressing every stone as a native one, and this particular spirit is still clearly felt in Bolnisi.
