This 16th-to-18th-century monastery is located on the hill in the village of Jumati. The monastery consists of a basilica of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel, a bell tower, walls and other monastic buildings. The facility was built in the early Middle Ages, while the frescoes date from the 16th to 18th centuries. The bell tower with a square base was built in 1904 and is partially destroyed today. Jumati Monastery was an important religious and cultural center of Guria. Here valuable icons, relics and documents, some of which also had secular significance, were kept. In the 20th century the monastery was robbed several times. Fragments of several icons from Jumati are now in the Hermitage at St. Petersburg, the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Beautiful views of Guria and Samegrelo lowlands of Northwestern Georgia and Black Sea can be seen from the hill.
