Kintsvisi Monastery (Georgian: ყინწვისი, Qinc'visi) is a Georgian Orthodox monastery in the Shida Kartli region, eastern Georgia, 10 kilometers from the town Kareli, on a forested slope of a high mountain of the Dzama valley.
The Kintsvisi Monastery complex consists of three churches, of uncertain origin. The central (main) central church dedicated to St Nicholas is thought to date to the early 13th century, in what is generally regarded as a "golden age" of the Georgian monarchy. A very small chapel standing next to it is dedicated to St George, and dates from around the same time.
The oldest church, dedicated to St Mary dates from the 10-11th centuries, but is mostly in ruins.
The site is currently listed by the World Monuments Fund as a field project.

Arankele Monastery’s sylvan environment and ruins of bathing ponds gives the impression it was once a pleasure park. Arankele, on the contrary, was a 6th century cave hermitage up a forested hillside. The densely wooded terrain crowded with huge hardwood trees are interspersed by the openings and clearings created by the on-going process of clearing scattered debris to unearth the ruins and re erecting the fallen ruins.
Jerónimos Monastery, or Hieronymites Monastery, was commissioned by King Dom Manuel I, the Portuguese monarch at the time of Vasco da Gama’s pioneering sea voyage to India in 1498. Construction began in 1501 and took nearly a century. The Discoveries financed the Monastery construction via revenue from the “pepper tax” and a 5 percent levy on trade with Africa and the Orient. Several architects oversaw the building project throughout the sixteenth century, namely Diogo de Botaica, the architect responsible for Belém Tower and one of the key figures of what would become known as the Manueline architectural style, and João de Castilho, who took over the work around 1517. The monks of the Order of Saint Jerome occupied the monastery it's dissolution in the nineteenth century. The Mosteiro was then secularised and handed over to the charitable institution, Real Casa Pia de Lisboa, that occupied the building until 1940 with a school and an orphanage. The monastery church became the parish church of the Belém district. In the twentieth century, Jerónimos Monastery underwent major restorations that concluded the central body of the annexe and restored the pews

The Monastery of the Cross (Georgian: ჯვრის მონასტერი) is an Orthodox monastery near the Nayot neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel. It is located in the Valley of the Cross, below the Israel Museum and the Knesset.
The monastery was built in the 11th century, during the reign of King Bagrat IV by the Georgian Giorgi-Prokhore of Shavsheti. It is believed that the site was originally consecrated in the 4th century under the instruction of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great, who later gave the site to the Georgian King Mirian III of Iberia after the conversion of his country to Christianity in 327 A.D.
By the 14th century, the monastery had become the center of the Georgian community in Jerusalem. By 1685, however, the monastery had been taken over by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate
