![Street sign at the entrance to the Mtsvane Monastery outside of Borjomi, Georgia.

"Mtsvane" translates to "green" in the Georgian language.

This monastery is a short marshutka or taxi ride from central Borjomi - if you visit, I recommend walking the distance from here to the main monastery.  ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6340980/36d65272-ed19-425a-8e22-1a9db79e5d2c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
