Perched on top of the 130 ft high Katskhi Pillar in Georgia, is probably the world’s most sacred, and isolated church. Located around 200 km west of Georgia’s capital city Tbilisi, this amazing landmark is famed for being notoriously difficult to reach. Reportedly, locals could only look up at the mysterious ruins at its summit for centuries. However, in 1944, mountaineer Alexander Japaridze led a group to the spot and made the first documented ascent of the pillar. Till now, only those who are invited to scale the rock are allowed to reach the scared spot.
