Step out of the hustle and bustle of Tbilisi's Old City into Sioni Cathedral (Georgian: სიონის ღვთისმშობლის მიძინების ტაძარი). The church was initially built in the 6th century and has been destroyed by foreign invaders and reconstructed several times. Located on Sioni Street and backing on to the Mktvari River, Sioni Cathedral is a typical example of medieval Georgian church architecture surrounded by modern cafes and shops.
