A short drive from Gori is the ancient church of Atenis Sioni. Unfortunately under construction when I visited, the inside of this church is truly breathtaking.
The main attraction of Atenis Sioni is, however, its interior. When I arrived near the door, it appeared to be locked, but fortunately one of the workers interrupted his lunch to open the lock and let me in. The damp darkness of this 7th century church temporarily prevented me from seeing anything after the bright sunshine outside. But when finally my eyes adjusted, they saw beautiful frescoes, worn away by the almost 10 centuries since they were painted. It was far too dark to take pictures, and that would anyway have not been allowed. Still, they were an amazing sight.
