Mtatsminda Father David Church is a 19th century monument located on Mtatsminda Street in the middle of Mtatsminda. The first church on the site of today's temple was built at the end of the 6th century. In the 6th century, a group of ecclesiastical figures from the Church of Antioch came to Georgia to strengthen the Christian faith. One of them was Father David, who founded the Gareja Monastery. Before going to Gareji, he worked in Tbilisi, east of Mtatsminda, on the rock where he carved a cave. After Father David left the cave, people named the mountain \"Mamadaviti\" in his honor. In the X-XI centuries the second name of Mamadaviti mountain was named - Mtatsminda. A new temple was built on the site of the ancient church in the 9th century, which was destroyed over time. In the 10th century, a monastery was established here, which no longer existed in the 13th and 14th centuries.
The foundation of the present-day temple was laid on September 22, 1859, when Exarch Eusebius consecrated it in the name of Mamadaviti. The interior of the church was painted in 1889. In 1891 a parish school was established near the church. Worship in the Mamadaviti temple was also observed during the enemy's raid, while worship services were held throughout Tbilisi.
Mtatsminda Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures is located near Father David Church. The terrace near the temple offers wonderful views of Tbilisi, which gives a special charm to this place.
