Arali

In Adigeni district only two Meskh villages are left, Arali and Ude. They both are catholic villages. Because of turk invasion and occupation of region, in XVI century, and active islamisation, many Meskhs turned to catholicism. That's why in south Georgia there are several catholic villages.
Here is one of them:
