Until fairly recently, due to it's proximity to the border with Armenia, the whole city had been off limits to tourists as it lay within a militarised zone. During the 20th century the city was subject to vandalism, looting, deliberate destruction and questionable quality archaeological excavations that have all left their mark on the site and diminished it's splendour and how much could be learnt from it. This vast area is certainly still subject to looting and vandalism but it remains an archaeological and architectural treasure that demonstrates the former glories of the medieval Armenian people. These images were taken in a single visit made in May 2015.

The architect of the Ani cathedral was commissioned to build Gagik's church but flaws in its design meant it was very unstable. Attempts to strengthen the church failed and it collapsed not long after. Gagik's famous church was lost until the excavations of Nikolai Marr revealed it's location. Sadly due to time constraints further investigation and collection of images of this church were not possible during my visit.

Construction work began in 989 AD and after a brief hiatus in work was completed in 1001 AD. The city was captured in 1064 by the Turks who converted the cathedral into a mosque. It was restored to its Christian usage in 1124. It has been significantly damaged in recent years by the use of explosives at a nearby mine on the Armenian side of the border. As a result significant sections of the Cathedral are now being supported by metal brackets. Traces of the frescos that covered the Cathedral can still be seen in the whitewashed apse.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource The Early Christian Architecture of Georgia Description An account of the resource This collection of photographs was initially based upon pictures taken during fieldwork in May-July 2013, with the addition of some material from earlier research trips. The information gathered at this time has been added to and expanded over the course of the project fieldwork, most notably during long periods spent in Georgia in 2016 and 2017. The aim of the resource is to make available a range of images of early Georgian churches in order to study their form, function and architectural evolution, as well as to act as a record of their state of preservation at this particular moment in time. The fashion for rebuilding ecclesiastical monuments post-Communism is currently a serious threat to the architectural heritage of Georgia and these images record sites that are so far untouched as well as others that have already been modified.

Title A name given to the resource Matskhvarishi village, Latali community, Svaneti Description An account of the resource The Church of the Ascension in Matskhvarishi village in the community of Latali in Svaneti was built in C10th-C11th and, as with much of Svaneti it was built in a distinct and more archaic form of architecture than that in the Georgian lowlands. As with other older churches, there is a semi-open arcade on the south aisle with an apse but in this case there does not appear to be a corresponding aisle on the north side as well.
