Dadiani Palace in the village of Salkhino near the Martvili Church was built during the reign of Davit Dadian’s father Levan V Dadiani (1804-1840). This important architectural landmark is also known as the Kvevri Palace. Earlier it was the modest royal residence. The building assumed its final shape later.

The great hall on the lower floor of the palace had an inbuilt wine vessel (kvevri) and a massive, richly decorated fireplace with a sculpture of Bacchus seated on the mantelpiece. The walls were covered with oak and chestnut panels.The Salkhino complex also included a huge wine cellar, 35 meters long and 10 meters wide.

The Salkhino Palace was ravaged under the Soviet regime, leaving only a stripped shell.

In recent years Patriarchate restored the Palace, regained its former splendor to it and turned it into his residence.
