Martvili, a town in western Georgia, has a rich history dating back over a thousand years. It was originally known as "Chkondidi," a prominent medieval Georgian cultural and religious center.

It played a significant role in the development of Georgian Christianity and culture during the Middle Ages.During the Soviet era, Martvili, like many other Georgian towns, underwent significant changes, including the suppression of religious activities.
