    The Jvari Monastery (Georgian: ჯვრის მონასტერი, English Jvari Monastery, German Kreuzkloster) is one of the most important buildings of the Georgian Orthodox Church. At the same time, the Dshwari Monastery is one of the most important tourist highlights in Georgia. Finally, the exposed location of the Jvari Monastery on a mountain spur above the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, above the former capital of the Kingdom of Iberia, Mtskheta, means that this monastery is one of the most popular photo opportunities in Georgia.
