The Frescoes of Zhamushi Church of the Savior

The 13th-century paintings in the church have been preserved to this day, with frescoes depicting the full cycle of church holidays. There are a few relics still kept in the church, including a 10th-century metal icon of Saint George and 16th-17th-century icons with inscriptions in ancient Georgian Asomtavruli script on them. It has been established that one of them – the Icon of the Savior – was donated to the church by Giorgi II, the king of Imereti.

In 2006, Zhamushi Church of the Savior was granted the status of an Immovable Cultural Monument of National Significance.
