Right next to the Georgian Military Highway you can find the fortress and church of Ananuri, with a great view over the Zhinvali Reservoir.
As in many other places in Georgia, Ananuri is another example of how the Georgians picked amazing spots for their fortresses and churches. Always on top of hills, always lookouts, and, although probably not always intended that way, on photogenic locations for the present day visitor. Less than 70km from Tbilisi, Ananuri was founded in the 16th century as a fortress, and belonged to the dukes of Aragvi. Several battles were fought here, and in the 18th century one of the dukes set fire to the castle and murdered the dukes family.
