The monastery complex includes a basilica-type church and bell tower, also built in 9th century.
Rabati dates back to the 9th century and occupies seventeen acres. The complex consisted of Jakelis’ residence, a fortress, a museum and the ruins of an ancient caravanserai, as well as Greek, Armenian and Catholic churches. A mosque can also be found here. The diversity of the complex is testament to the variety of civilizations (and invaders) in the hands of which it fell over the centuries.

As for the right bank of the river, it is largely flat, with a few hills. here, the houses were built as late as in 19th century, some of them on hill slopes.
During its existence, Akhaltsikhe has fully shared the destiny of the entire Georgia. Many times it fell into the hands of foreign tribes but none of them were able to erase or cover Georgian traces. that is why today it is a purely Georgian town, baked by its rich historical past.
