Itinerário

1. Rabati Fortress is located in In Akhaltsikhe. The Akhaltsikhe fortress was founded in the XIII century, and since the XVI century it was ruled by the Ottoman Empire, in the XIX century it came under the patronage of the Russian Empire, and then returned to the rightful owners - the Georgians. That’s why, in the architecture of Rabat is mixed different countries and cultures. The fortress entered the XXI century in a very depressing state. That is why in 2011 it was decided to fully restore and bring to its original appearance. The name "Rabat" means a fortified place, most often a small area located near the citadel. Gradually, people began to call Rabat not only the specified part of the castle, but also the whole territory. The territory of the Rabat fortress on 7 hectares, which are divided into 2 parts: Lower (modern) and Upper (historical). In the lower part are located: an information center with a cash register, wine terraces (vineyard) and a shop with related products, an alley of love, a hotel, several restaurants, a souvenir shop, a puppet theater, towers. In the upper part of the Rabat fortress there is a mosque of Haji Ahmed Pasha with gilded domes, a small Christian church, the Samtskhe-Javakheti museum, directly the Jakeli castle itself, and the tomb of the pasha. Of all the above, a temple built in the 16th century and successfully surviving the Turkish rule (at that time some kind of utility room was made of it) and a mosque built on the foundations of the Christian church have a wonderful past. performing the functions of an Orthodox church. Since then, huge stone monuments with crosses have remained inside. Another highlight of the upper part of the fortress is the historical museum. Twilight reigns inside. The exposition is presented mainly in the form of household items and weapons. And the most interesting landmark here is considered to be a tall tower with a Georgian flag on top. The entire citadel had previously served as a castle for the ancient family of Djakeli, who for the sake of their own safety had turned over to the side of the Turkish invaders in the 16th century. From the top, highest point of the tower, there are wonderful views not only of the territory of the Rabat fortress, but also of the surroundings.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, capital da Geórgia, estende-se numa garganta sob uma fortaleza: casas com varandas, banhos sulfurosos e ousados edifícios modernos.

A cidade velha concentra-se ao longo do rio Mtkvari, com ruas estreitas ladeadas de varandas de madeira esculpida, igrejas e bares de vinho. Abanotubani, o bairro dos banhos, é coroado por cúpulas de tijolo sobre fontes sulfurosas, e as muralhas da fortaleza de Narikala dominam tudo, alcançadas de teleférico ou por uma subida íngreme. A estátua da Mãe da Geórgia ergue-se na crista com uma espada e uma taça de vinho.

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