Ninotsminda Mothers’ Monastery – a walled monastery complex – a temple, a four-story brick bell tower (XVI century), the two-story palace of Metropolitan Saba Tusisshvili (1774-1777) and the ruins of other buildings preserved in Kakheti region, Sagarejo Municipality, the village of Ninotsminda.

The main building of the complex is the church of St. Nino, built in the III quarter of the VI century. According to the legend the construction of the temple is connected with the place where St. Nino rested.

Ninotsminda temple is a remarkable monument of the VI century. It was built at the time of St. Nino in the old idol site. To create a large domed space, one additional small stand is inserted on the diagonal axes between the four apses in the corners of the central square. From the outside, the temple was a star-shaped structure with alternating semicircular apses arranged in size. Only the apse in the middle of the altar, where the windows are cut, has a concave shape. The building was the developed face of the tetraconch and the direct predecessor of the cross-type monuments. The temple was thoroughly repaired many times (XI-XII centuries, XVI century). It was destroyed during the 1824 and 1848 earthquakes.

Belltower – a brick belltower of the XVI-XVIII centuries is erected to the north-east of the main temple. Ninotsminda belltower is among great belltowers in Georgia. On the lower three floors, there is one vaulted room with windows, niches and fireplaces. The fourth floor is a belltower – with eight-pillar arches opening the pavilion. The facades are made of arches, rhombuses and crosses made of brick and arranged symmetrically. To the north of the belltower was a two-story wooden building housing the residence of the Ninotsminda bishop.
