The Dodo Rka Monastery also belongs to the group of Davit Gareja monasteries. There were supposedly twelve at one time, but now there are only three. The Dodo Rka Monastery was founded (like the Lavra Monastery) in the 6th century(!) by a student of Davit Garejali. I was not allowed to take photos inside or outside (except for the two pictures), but it is still worth a visit. The smaller of the two churches dates from the 6th century (there is a [new] gravestone for Davit Garejali's grave next to it), the larger has impressive internal dimensions of 8x6m(?) floor space. Both were buried by sand and were only uncovered in recent years. Old icons cannot be seen. (But you also have to remember that the Mongols and the Persians destroyed everything in the meantime.)

Today, monks repeatedly asked us to leave the area. We only took photos from a distance. Based on their gestures, I suspect my wife wasn't welcome there, or perhaps visitors weren't allowed at all. They gestured that we should go to the main monastery, Lavra Monastery of Davit Gareja, but no!
