This natural limestone monolith is situated in Katskhi village, an hour drive from Kutaisi, near Chiatura. The height of the pillar is about 131 ft (40 m) and it overlooks a small valley where the Katskhura river flows. A prominent rock, together with visible church ruins on its top, has been worshiped by locals as the Pillar of Life and is considered a figure of the True Cross. Until 1944, the pillar was unclaimed and unsurveyed by researchers. That changed from 1999 to 2009 when it was regularly studied. Findings revealed that the ruins were of an early medieval monastery from the ninth or tenth century. Today, you can view a new monastery (build in 2009).
