Khandzta (Georgian: ხანძთა) is a medieval Georgian monastery from the VII century located in the historic province of Tao, now in North-eastern Turkey. The church was built by saint Gregory of Khandzta. Gregory of Khandzta (Georgian: გრიგოლ ხანძთელი, Grigol Khandzteli) (759 – 5 October 861) was a prominent Georgian ecclesiastic figure and a founder and leader of numerous monastic communities in Tao-Klarjeti, historic southwest Georgia.
