    The only pharmacy in Vardzia that you can still enter. Many small caves were carved into the wall to store medicines.

      Not only were residential caves dug into tuff, a church, a treasury, stables, a library, bathing pools and even a pharmacy were also housed on 13 floors. The floors are connected to each other through stairs, galleries and terraces.
