2. Then we move to Rabati Castle. Brief information about Rabati Castle: Built in the 13th century, Rabati castle developed under the influence of different cultures over subsequent centuries and this is reflected in its architecture. Within the 7 hectares castle complex there is a Church, a Mosque, a Minaret and a Synagogue. In the 13th-16th centuries the castle and its town of Akhaltsikhe had been the residence of the Jakhely princes. A renovated Rabati Castle was opened in Akhaltsikhe in August 2012. Old, nearly destroyed buildings were restored by architects and engineers, using archive materials and images.

3. Afterwards, we move to ancient city Vardzia (Cave city). Brief information about Vardzia: The underground halls of the “mountain queen,” dug out of the solid rock, Vardzia looks like it was taken directly from the pages of Lord of the Rings. In reality it is a cave-palace-monastery built not by dwarfs, but by Georgians in the Caucasus for our fabled king Tamar, during Golden Ages (12th century).

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, capitale della Georgia, scorre in una gola sotto una fortezza: case con balconi, bagni sulfurei e audaci edifici moderni.

La città vecchia si raccoglie lungo il fiume Mtkvari, con le strette vie fiancheggiate da balconi di legno intagliati, chiese e enoteche. Abanotubani, il quartiere dei bagni, è coronato da cupole di mattoni sopra sorgenti sulfuree, e le mura della fortezza di Narikala dominano il tutto, raggiungibili in funivia o con una salita ripida. La statua della Madre della Georgia si erge sul crinale, con una spada e una coppa di vino in mano.

Top-ranked sights in Tbilisi: Metekhi Church, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi).
