The ancient capital - Mtskheta and the monument of Didgori

The ancient Iberian capital - Mtskheta is located only 15 kilometers from Tbilisi and is famous for the Jvari temple standing on the mountain and the view opening from its walls, as well as the majestic Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in the city center. However, Mtskheta is more than 2,000 years old and many interesting things happened there both before and after the adoption of Christianity by Georgia.
And I'm going to show you places that don't normally come from groups of tourists. So this trip is suitable for the first acquaintance with Mceta and if you have already been here many times.
We will see not only Jvari and Svetitskhoveli, but also the ancient settlement of Armazi. Perhaps one of the most interesting archaeological sites in Georgia. I will tell you who the king Parnavaz and Armazi are, we will see the foundations of palaces and pagan temples, baths and living quarters, talk about how archaeological excavations are conducted and ancient cities are opened layer by layer, about the daily life of Armazi, holidays and wars, the rise and decline, admire modern Mtskheta from one of the best observation platforms and go to the ruins of the fortress of Bebristsikhe.
I will tell you the history of the building and the legend of the fortress and we will be able to compare how bizarre the past and fantasy are intertwined in the people’s memory.
After lunch in one of the picturesque restaurants, we will go to one of the most epic Georgian monuments - the monument of the Battle of Didgora. We are waiting for a winding road through the forest, the story of the most famous battle in Georgian history, which completed the unification of the country and marked the beginning of the Georgian Golden Age.
This day will give you not only beautiful views, impressions and photos, but also make Georgia closer. You will get an idea of the history and culture of the country, which will help you to travel consciously and with pleasure in Georgia in the future.
