The complex itself consists of about 20 monasteries and quite a number of monk cells (small caves) cut inside the Udabno mountain. The oldest of the monasteries was established there by one of the “13 Assyrian fathers”, Monk David. The monastery has his name ever since – “David’s Laurel”. The David Gareja monastery complex still houses number of ancient frescoes from VIII-XIV centuries with many religious and historical figures depicted on them, like one of Georgian Queen Tamar for instance.
