Georg., Eng. On the example of the ancient cultural monuments of Tbilisi - Sioni and Anchiskhati, on the basis of visual, morphological and microstructural analysis, an initial assessment of the stability and strength of these monuments was carried out. For this, in the samples of natural construction materials sampled from the outer walls of the temples, their porosity, water absorption capacity, true and volumetric densities were measured. According to the obtained results, the current state of the ancient temples of Tbilisi was evaluated.
