Artist's Description
The Katskhi pillar is a natural limestone monolith in the village of Katskhi in the western Georgian region of Imereti, near the city of Chiatura. It is about 40 meters high and overlooks the small river valley of Katskhura, a right-wing welfare state of the Q'virila.
The rock, with visible church ruins on an upper surface of c. 150 m2, is revered by locals as the Pillar of Life and a symbol of the True Cross, and is surrounded by legends. It remained unclimbed by researchers and unconsidered until 1944 and was studied more systematically from 1999 to 2009. These studies determined the ruins of an early medieval hermitage from the 9th or 10th century. A Georgian inscription paleographically dating from the 13th century suggests that the Hermitage still existed then. Religious activity associated with the pillar was revived in the 1990s and the monastery building was restored as part of a state-funded programme by 2009.

The opportunity to take a peek behind closed doors is a truly unique experience, both relaxing and...
