The Chitakhevi church of Saint George is a medieval church. Abandoned for more than two hundred years, the monastery was restored in 2003.The monastery's history is unknown. An upsurge in pilgrimage followed, driven by a belief that stones in the nearby stream acquired a reddish colour after a massacre of local monks by the soldiers of the Persian shah Tahmasp I in the 1550s. The Monastery consists of a three-nave basilica, stylistically dated to the late 9th or 10th century, and a two-storey bell-tower, likewise dated to the 15th or 16th century. There are remnants of old monastic cells and some accessory structures nearby. The church is built of coarsely hewn ashlar and rubble. Both the internal and external walls are plain, devoid of any significant decoration; traces of frescoes, probably executed in the 12th or 13th century, survive in the apse and on the west wall. A bell-tower stands a few metres southeast of the church. It is a two-storey structure.
