		The construction of Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta was initiated, in the 1020s, by Giorgi I. A number of legends surround the history of this magnificent cathedral, and the site in general.
		An exhausting war lasted for two years, and ended in a decisive Byzantine victory, forcing Giorgi to agree to a peace treaty, in which he had not only to abandon his claims to Tao, but to surrender several of his southwestern possessions to Basil, and to give his three-year-old son, Bagrat, as hostage.
		He was buried in the Bagrati Cathedral in his capital Kutaisi.

		History: The ancient citadel and royal residence were one of the most important castle structures in Western Georgia, and by the 17th century was reported by French and Russian travelers to be massively impressive.
		However, nearby are the more imposing ruins of the Bagrati cathedral, built during the reign of King Bagrat III (975-1014) in the 11th century.

		The “double headed” WHS of “Bagrati Cathedral and Gelati Monastery” consists of a ruined (in 1691 by the Turks) Cathedral of the 10th to 11th centuries in the town of Kutaisi and a (still functioning) monastery complex built between the 12th to 17 centuries situated in the countryside some 12kms away.
		Apart from the geographical proximity and the fact that, taken together, the 2 buildings represent a long and continuous period of Georgian religious architecture, I know of no reason why they are linked together in a single WHS.
