La confluence des rivières Mtkvari et Aragvi

Svetitskhoveli se trouve au cœur du vieux Mtskheta et revêt une importance historique encore plus grande que Djvari. Il s'agit de la « première église géorgienne », érigée à l'emplacement choisi par sainte Nino elle-même. Elle abrite des dizaines de reliques précieuses, dont ce que l'on pense être le manteau du Christ, des fonts baptismaux du IVe siècle et un morceau de bois de cèdre récupéré de la structure d'origine.

It is one of the oldest cities in Georgia as well as one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the World. Due to the historical significance of the town and its several outstanding churches and cultural monuments, the "Historical Monuments of Mtskheta" became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

State Stalin Museum is situated in Gori, the town where Stalin was born. The complex museum was opened in 1957. In the house, where Stalin was born, the memorial museum was opened in 1937, during Stalin’s lifetime.

Built on a high rocky left bank of the Mtkvari River, it contains various structures dating from the Early Iron Age to the Late Middle Ages and is notable for the unique combination of various styles of rock-cut cultures from Anatolia and Iran, as well as the co-existence of pagan and Christian architecture.

The origins of the fortress date back to the 7th century, when it was built by the Arab conquerors of Georgia. In the 16th century, the fortress was renovated by the Georgian king Rostom, and it was later taken over by the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century.
