GeorgianTimes.Info  --  Surb Nshan Armenian monastery is situated in the very center of Tbilisi, presenting a magnificent view. However, the architectural monument looks deplorable at a close distance. Of course, it would be very hard to destroy a monastery built in 1701: thick brickwork walls will keep the church for the generations coming. The point is what kind of look one of the most significant Christian shrines in the Caucasus will offer to the descendants.
