Timotesubani is a medieval Georgian Orthodox Christian monastic complex located at the eponymous village in the Borjomi Gorge, Georgia's Samtskhe-Javakheti region. The complex consists of a series of structures built between the 11th and 18th centuries, of which the Church of the Dormition is the largest and artistically most exquisite edifice constructed during the "Golden Age" of medieval Georgia under Queen Tamar. A contemporary inscription commemorates the Georgian nobleman Shalva of Akhaltsikhe as a patron of the church. The church is a domed cross-in-square design built of pink stone, with three apses projecting on the east. Its dome rests upon the two freely standing pillars and ledges of the altar. Later, two – the western and southern – portals were added. The interior was extensively frescoed in no later than 1220s. The Timotesubani murals are noted for their vivacity and complexity of iconographic program. These frescoes were cleaned and studied by E. Privalova and colleagues in the 1970s and underwent emergency treatment and conservation with aid from the World Monuments Fund and the Samuel H. Kress Foundation in the 2000s

Borjomi Central Park was renovated and reopened in 2005. The park has an ecological theme and features children’s amusement rides, a swimming pool and cinema. There is also a cable car leading up to a scenic overlook.
Another attraction in the park is the peculiar statue of Prometheus which stands at the base of a small waterfall. Onlookers are often amused, if not perplexed, by this seemingly syncretic representation of the titan deviant.
Borjomi gorge is rich in architectural places of interest. Monuments of Christian culture, several centuries old, are located here such as Saint George Monastery and Saint Spiridon of Trimythus Monastery (X century). The church of St. George, built in 1333, is located in the small village of Daba. The church is decorated with Georgian ornamentation and stone friezes.
There is also the Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin (12th century) in Timotesubani located in Borjomi gorge. It is visited annually by numerous Christian pilgrims on 28 of August.
