Монастырь Джвари, что в переводе с грузинского означает крест, расположен в поблизости города Мцхета, на вершине горы, у слияния рек Кура и Арагва. Монастырь расположен на скале высотой около 150 метров, откуда открывается великолепный вид на город Мцхета и окрестности. Эта сцена также описана в поэме Лермонтова “Мцир“.
Как сообщают исторические источники, церковь была построена в первой половины 7 в. на том месте, где проповедник христианства, святая девственница Нунэ воздвигла крест. Благодаря своим архитектурным решениям, монастырь считается одним из шедевров Грузии. Это небольшой по размерам храм, который в плане представляет вписанный в квадрат крест с полукруглыми апсидами на концах. Храм завершён куполом на восьмигранном барабане. О создателе архитектурного шедевра ничего не известно.
Здание было реконструировано в 2007 году. Это первый в Грузии памятник который с городом Мцхета включен в Список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.
