A must-see church on top of a 40-m-high rock. Just a single monk is living there, Maxim, who comes down its ladder from time to time.
The Katskhi Pillar is a natural limestone monolith located at the village of Katskhi in western Georgian region of Imereti, near the town of Chiatura. It is approximately 40 metres (130 ft) high, and overlooks the small river valley of Katskhura, a right affluent of the Q'virila.
