Ikalto Monastery

Ikalto  - in 11th-13th centuries was a high school and the academy in Ikalto. Ikalto monastery was known as one of the most significant cultural-scholastic centers of Georgia, which is asserted by the ruins of some civil building preserved at the site of the monastery. According to sources, the first academy in this area was founded in 9 AD, but during the Arab invasions it was entirely devastated. During the Georgian Renaissance, the teacher of David the Builder, scholar and philosopher Arsen of Ikalto (11th) centuries,  initiated the idea of recreating a high school and the academy at Ikalto. The first rector of the academy was Arsen. Many important works were written and translated from Greek. Important catalogues were made up like Dogmatikon (the most consummated lists -1463, XII-XIII cc.) and many other works.  The academy of Ikalto had functioned for a long time, playing an important role in the history of Georgian enlightenment. Teaching basically followed the Trivium-Quadrivium method. The monastery remains active today and serves as a popular destination of tourism and pilgrimage.
