1. 🕊️ A peaceful corner of Old Tbilisi, hidden just behind the famous sulfur baths. This small monastery feels like a quiet breath in the middle of the city. 2. 🏛️ The church is dedicated to the Forty Martyrs of Sebaste—early Christian soldiers who stood firm in their faith. The story adds deep meaning to the space. 3. 🏗️ Originally built in the 19th century, the church was dismantled in 1924 during Soviet rule. The current structure was rebuilt in 2009, restoring its spiritual presence in Abanotubani. 4. 🌿 The courtyard is simple but calming. You’ll find benches, shade, and a few birds hopping around. Locals often stop here for a moment of silence. 5. 🕯️ Inside, the icons are humble and beautiful. You can light a candle, say a prayer, or just sit quietly. It’s not a tourist spot- it’s a living place of faith. 6. 📸 Photography is allowed outside, but be respectful inside. This is an active church, and people come here to pray. 7. 🧭 Easy to find: just walk uphill from Abanotubani baths. Look for the small bell tower and stone walls. It’s close to the Mother of Georgia statue path. 8. 💬 Friendly priests and locals. If you speak Georgian or Russian, they may share the story of the martyrs or offer a blessing. 9. 🕰️ Best time to visit: early morning or sunset. The light is soft, and the atmosphere feels timeless. 10. 🧡 Not flashy, not famous - but deeply moving. A place to pause, reflect, and feel the quiet strength of history and belief. 11. 🌍 Tip for visitors: combine this stop with a walk through the botanical garden or the Narikala fortress trail. It’s part of Tbilisi’s spiritual heart. Тихий монастырь в Абанотубани, посвящённый 40 мученикам Севастии. Построен в XIX веке, восстановлен в 2009 году. აბანოთუბნის პატარა ტაძარი, წმინდა 40 სებასტიელი მოწამის სახელზე. აშენდა მე-19 საუკუნეში, აღდგენილია 2009 წელს.:
