Uplistsikhe is an ancient cave town located in central Georgia, near the town of Gori, on a cliff overlooking the Mtkvari River. This unique archaeological complex is one of the most significant monuments of ancient Georgian civilization. Uplistsikhe was founded in the early Iron Age, around the 6th century BC. It was an important trade and cultural center for several centuries. The city flourished in ancient and medieval times, but declined in the 13th century due to the Mongol invasions. Uplistsikhe is a complex of rock-cut caves and structures, including residential areas, temples, public buildings, and even a theater. The complex includes a network of streets and passages, as well as defensive structures, which testify to the high level of ancient urban planning. Entrance fee: 15Gel/Person
