The centre of Tbilisi is adorned with the most grandiose temple of Georgia – Sameba Cathedral (the Holy Trinity). It can be compared to the Temple of the Christ the Savior in Moscow . The cathedral can accommodate 15, 000 people at the same time. Its height reaches 78 meters so the temple is perfectly visible from any point of the city. Sameba amazes everyone with its beauty and greatness of grandiose architecture, magnificence of style and exterior decor. The white temple building rises in giant tiers towards the golden dome. Due to state-of-the-art illumination the cathedral shines in its magnificence.
Sameba is one of the few modern churches in Georgia . It was open in 2004. “The building of the century” – that is how Georgians refer to Sameba. The temple was constructed thanks to charitable donations from the citizens of Georgia. |
