been specifically protected by the State. The town is walled with the remnants
of 18th-century fortifications. There are two Georgian Orthodoxchurches in the
town itself - one dedicated to St. George and the other to St. Stephen. The
venerated Bodbe Monastery is located 2 kilometers from Sighnaghi and is a place
of pilgrimage due to its association with St. Nino, the 4th-century apostle of
Georgia.
