St. Nino’s Basilica in Bodbe

The Monastery of Saint Nino at Bodbe is a Georgian Orthodox monastic complex and the seat of the Bihops of Bodbe located 2 km from the town of Sighnaghi in Kakheti region of Georgia.   Originally built in the 9th century, it has been significantly remodeled, especially in the 17th century. The monastery now functions as a nunnery and is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Georgia, due to its association with Saint Nino, the 4th-century female evangelist of Georgians, whose relics are there.
