Since I am from Javakhk, I rejoice at every stone, I think that I will not have the most correct opinion, because it is biased. I like mountains, mountain rivers, I recommend visiting.

Historically, Georgia, as a country of majestic mountains, has developed a special kind of art — carving the premises of temples, fortresses and even entire cities in the rocks. Thus, the object of such unusual architecture was another attraction of Georgia — the ancient city of Vardzia, located near the border with Turkey. The city was carved into the rocks in the 12th-13th centuries AD to protect the southern borders of Georgia from enemy attacks. The unusual city is a whole multi-level complex with streets, stairs, tunnels, monasteries, baths, libraries, fortresses and living quarters. In total, the city has more than six hundred rooms connected by passages that went 50 meters deep into the rocks, stretched 800 meters wide along the cliff, and had 8 levels in height. In the event of an enemy attack, the city served as a shelter for civilians and could accommodate up to 20 thousand people. In the center of the cave city, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin was carved, where fragments of frescoes dating from the 12th century have been preserved to this day. According to one version, it was here that Queen Tamara, who ruled in those years, was buried, and so that vandals could not find and destroy the tomb, eight funeral processions went from Tbilisi to different parts of the world on the days of her death. In the 13th century, as a result of a major earthquake, a huge layer of rock separated from the rock in which the city of Vardzia was located, exposing the walls of the city. Later, Vardzia suffered from the Mongol invasion, and today about 15 novices of the monastery live here. In 1938, Vardzia acquired the status of a museum-reserve, which it is to this day
