This monastery is perched high above a river gorge and was previously quite isolated. King Bagrat III built it in the 11th century on the ruins of an 8th century church erected to honor two brothers, David and Constantine, who were tortured by the Arabs for refusing to convert to Islam in 730. (Bagrat III unified Georgia.)
