David Garaji is a Medieval monestery complex set in a semi desert. It was originally forested but the trees were cleared during the Bronze Age to provide fuel for smelting. The Soviets suppressed religion and used the area as a military training range but they are now working monasteries again. The monks tunnelled into the rocks to make caves which were then fronted with stonework. However, time, earth quakes and Soviet artillery have all taken their toll.
