Agara Monastery is a prominent monument of Georgian architecture that developed as a complex between the 10th and 15th centuries. Located in the Akhaltsikhe Municipality, it sits on a mountain ridge above the village of Uraveli, on the right bank of the Uraveli River (a tributary of the Mtkvari). From Uraveli village, the road passes through the forest towards the remains of Enteli village, eventually leading to the monastery, which is deep in the forest and shrouded in mystery—so hidden that it can hardly be found without a local guide.
The site comprises various structures, including a 10th-century hall church, a 13th-14th century belfry, a refectory, small chapels, and the ruins of utility and residential buildings. The principal building of the monastery, the Church of St. John the Baptist, is one of the largest one-nave churches in Georgia, built of hewn stones and decorated with Georgian ornamental patterns. The interior retains fragments of frescoes, which are dated to the second half of the 10th century.
