Sanagire

Sanagire ( Georgian სანაგირე ; sɑnɑgɪrɛ ) is a medieval Georgian Orthodox monastery in the Kakheti region . It is located in Gurdschaanis Munizipaliteti , six kilometers from the village of Wasissubani.

The monastery complex consists of a basilica with three naves from the 10th and 11th centuries and a single-nave medieval basilica. Nearby are the ruins of the monastery building and the enclosure wall. The great basilica is built of hewn stone and brick. The monastery is orphaned.

About a hundred meters northeast of the monastery there is a smaller church ruin known as the Sanagire-Kleeblattkapelle ( Georgian სანაგირის ტეტრაკონქი ). Only the walls of the chapel remain.
