3. Uplistsikhe is an ancient cave town located in central Georgia, near the town of Gori, on a cliff overlooking the Mtkvari River. This unique archaeological complex is one of the most significant monuments of ancient Georgian civilization. Uplistsikhe was founded in the early Iron Age, around the 6th century BC. It was an important trade and cultural center for several centuries. The city flourished in ancient and medieval times, but declined in the 13th century due to the Mongol invasions. Uplistsikhe is a complex of rock-cut caves and structures, including residential areas, temples, public buildings, and even a theater.

5. Svetitskhoveli Cathedral is one of Georgia's most important and revered religious sites. Located in Mtskheta, just north of Tbilisi, the cathedral is a masterpiece of Georgian architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Svetitskhoveli, meaning "Life-Giving Pillar," has been a central place of worship since the 4th century. The current structure was built in the 11th century, replacing an earlier church. It’s often associated with the introduction of Christianity to Georgia by Saint Nino. Svetitskhoveli is considered one of the most sacred places in Georgia. According to tradition, the cathedral houses the "Chiton of Christ" (the robe of Christ), which is believed to have been brought to Georgia by Saint Nino and is revered by local Orthodox Christians.

About Tiflis

Tiflis, capital de Georgia, se extiende en una garganta bajo una fortaleza: casas con balcones, baños sulfurosos y audaces edificios modernos.

La ciudad vieja se agrupa a lo largo del río Mtkvari, con calles estrechas bordeadas de balcones de madera tallada, iglesias y bares de vino. Abanotubani, el barrio de los baños, está coronado por cúpulas de ladrillo sobre fuentes sulfurosas, y las murallas de la fortaleza de Narikala lo dominan todo, a las que se llega en teleférico o por una subida empinada. La estatua de la Madre de Georgia se alza en la cresta con una espada y una copa de vino.
