Explore Kartli, one of Georgia's most enigmatic regions. Visit the iconic Uplistsikhe cave town first to immerse yourself in Georgia's past. Then, learn more intriguing information about Gori and visit the distinctive Mtskheta, the former capital of Georgia.
From the second to the fifth century A.D., Mtskheta served as the ancient capital of the Kartli region and Georgia. The robe that Jesus wore during his crucifixion was allegedly buried beneath the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, according to Georgians (one of the most important cathedrals in Georgia).
The robe is thought to have been transported from Jerusalem to Mtskheta. You’ll enjoy the expansive vistas of the Caucasus Mountains, the meeting of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers, and the old town dotted with the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral.
In the eastern part of Georgia stands the ancient rock-hewn settlement of Uplistsikhe. It was constructed on the river's left bank, the Mtkvari.
It is famous for the unusual combination of distinct rock-cut civilizations from Anatolia and Iran and the cohabitation of pagan and Christian architecture. It contains several buildings ranging from the Early Iron Age to the Late Middle Ages.
Visit the Stalin Museum in Gori. The Joseph Stalin Museum honors the life of the Soviet Union's first president, born in Gori. The museum still has elements from the Soviet era, including Stalin's original home and railroad car.
This monastery is also called "Monastery of the Cross" in English. The Georgian Orthodox Jvari Monastery is close to Mtskheta, built in the sixth century. It is one of several historic buildings in Mtskheta that are on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites.
The Jvari Monastery is on top of a rocky mountain where the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers come together. You can see the town of Mtskheta, which used to be the capital of the kingdom of Iberia.
Ancient Meschian tribes built Mtskheta in the fifth century, which is now considered one of the oldest cities in Georgia. UNESCO named it a World Heritage site because of its cultural value and many historical sites.
The city was the capital of the Georgian Kingdom of Iberia from the third century B.C. to the fifth century A.D. Mtskheta, on the other hand, remained where most of Georgia's kings were crowned buried until the 19th century.
The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, also called the Cathedral of the Living Pillar, is currently the second-largest church in Georgia (after the Holy Trinity cathedral). Svetitskhoveli is one of the most important Georgian Orthodox churches and one of the most respected places of worship nearby. It is also well-known where Christ's robe from the cross was laid to rest.
