Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Ali NazifpourTehran, Iran58 contributionsA small and quaint cathedral at the top of a hill. Its architecture is very beautiful and you can see people who are praying in the unique Georgian Orthodox fashion. It's the same experience as other Georgian churches in a more compact way.Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ali NazifpourTehran, Iran58 contributionsIf you haven't contracted Cathedral fatigue in Georgia, I recommend this one. It's in a very touristy location and the architecture and the art displayed are very beautiful. I think it has the most beautiful wall paintings of Jesus.Written 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gee DTel Aviv, Israel129 contributionsA faster route than shows on googlemaps is to walk on loseb Grishashvili street past the sulphur baths and turn right onto Firdousi Street which becomes Gertsel Bazovi Street. At the end of Gertsel, you will feel as though you are entering someone’s yard, but just follow the path and the steps leading up. On the way, you’ll notice a couple of small blue signs attached high on the wall directing you to the monastery.Written 24 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Teresa CMetro Manila, Philippines1,571 contributionsLike many of the places of worship throughout Georgia, this is a functioning one. Gorgeous works of art, sand filled trays with candles and serious reverence practised. Beautiful.Written 8 September 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Malcolm DDubai, United Arab Emirates123 contributionsThe 'Ateshgah' in Tbilisi is a small portion of the ruin of an incredibly ancient structure. As per the official signage found on the lower wall of the structure on Gori Street, it existed as a place of worship (venerating the fire that was placed there) dating back to the 5th Century AD. This was the time when Georgia was probably part of the Greater Persian Empire under the Sassanian dynasty.
Although the Ateshgah is now but a ruin, spending a few minutes there can prove to be a very calming experience. There is nominal seating provided for visitors who wish to spend some time there in quiet contemplation. Besides, you may wish to rest awhile following your walk up the hill!
To get there, Google maps performs admirably until the point where you reach Betlemi Ascent/Betlemi Rise. (You can of course climb the steps further if you wish to visit the Mother Of Georgia statue on foot). Then from Betlemi Rise you need to simply continue to follow the street straight ahead, going past by the blue sign # 14 'Guesthouse Bethlehem Terrace'. You will find the Ateshgah structure on your right a little further down on Gomi street. Take the small flight of (open) stairs to reach the large brown door. You need to knock on the door and wait for it to be opened.
The structure is not hard to find because the tell-tale sign is to look for the curved fibreglass structure that is used as the roofing for the Ateshgah.
I do hope the photos that I and other reviewers have provided prove helpful in identifying and reaching the Ateshgah structure should you decide to visit.
The preservation of this monument by the Georgian National Committee is a testament to the Georgian Government's aim of preserving its ancient cultural heritage and making it accessible to tourists who may be interested in visiting such ancient and almost forgotten structures.
