Nestled atop a steep hill, the ancient fortress offers panoramic views of Tbilisi that are nothing short of breath-taking. Its weathered stone walls, remnants of various eras, whisper tales of Persian invaders and Mongol sieges. Originally built in the 4th century, the fortress boasts a complex history that has seen renovations under Byzantine, Arab, and Ottoman influences. The lower court features the charming St Nicholas Church, a 1990s reconstruction of the 13th-century original. The fusion of medieval architecture and stunning vistas creates an atmosphere that is both mysterious and captivating, inviting visitors to ponder the passage of time.
