“Fortress of God” - this is how you can literally translate the name of the unique landmark of Georgia, an ancient monument of architecture - the cave city of Uplistsikhe. It is located 75 km from Tbilisi and 12 km from Gori.

In ancient times, this rock city included a whole complex of majestic temples, halls for celebrations and living quarters. All of them were connected with each other by special corridors-tunnels.
