About this place
About St. Stephen’s Church
St. Stephen’s Church is located within the largest defensive tower of Sighnaghi Fortress, traditionally known as the King’s or Kiziki Bulwark. The church’s position inside the fortification makes it one of the town’s most unusual architectural landmarks. Visitors can combine the church with a walk along the nearby fortress wall and viewing platform. The elevated setting provides excellent photographic views of Sighnaghi and the surrounding Kakhetian landscape.
