Of all the ancient temples of Tiflis that have survived to this day, the greatest attention should be paid to the Zion Cathedral. Here it is affectionately called Sioni, it is located in a picturesque place, on the banks of the Kura River. Its project was developed in the 5th century by Vakhtang Gurgaslan, but the plan was not implemented by him. Only a century later, King Guram resumed the construction of two temples at once – Metekhi and Sioni.
