Nakipari church
Georgia
The Nakipari church of Saint George (nak'iparis ts'minda giorgis sakhelobis ek'lesia), locally known as Jgrag, is a medieval church in the Mestia Municipality in Georgia's region of Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti. The area is part of the highland historical and cultural region of Upper Svaneti. The designation Jgrag derives from the name of Saint George in the local Svan language. It is a hall church, adorned with frescoes painted by Tevdore in 1130. The church is inscribed on the list of the Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance of Georgia. St. George is perched on a hill, surrounded by a village cemetery, at the hamlet of Nakipari, part of the Ipari territorial unit, Mestia Municipality, at about 1700 metres above sea level. The church and cemetery are enveloped by a now half-ruined stone wall. The exact date when Jgrag was built is unknown; it is stylistically dated to the 10th or 11th century.
