უფლისწული / Uplistsuli church (10th century)
A basilica is a church with an ordinary roof that does not have a domed shape. It is such a building, built in the X century, located on the main square of the city.
When Georgia became a Christian country, mass executions of priests and adherents of paganism took place on the territory. At the same time, temples were rebuilt in the church, leaving no chance for another religion. From the largest building where the pagans worshiped their gods, they made a three-nave Christian basilica. But the churches did not stand for a long time and by now have already been destroyed.
Uplistsuli in translation from Georgian means "Church of the Prince." The uniqueness of the temple lies in the fact that it was built in a purely Georgian style: the side rooms from the main are separated by walls, not columns.
Near Uplistsuli you can see the ruins of the basilica, defeated in the era of resistance to Christianity.
