Ancient cave city in the heart of Georgia, Uplistsikhe is a surprisingly attractive place that gives the visitor an insight into how people lived in times long gone by.
Most of the ceilings have not been able to withstand earthquakes and Mongols destroying Uplistsikhe. Still, it is impressive to see wine presses in the rocks, remains of a pharmacy, the interior of the king's palace, the streets with a sewer system, and remains of pagan temples. Uplistsikhe sits on a strategical position, the cliffs and the river below offering natural defences. Nevertheless, the town was conquered and destroyed, and people set up a new village that can be seen below, on the banks of the river. The current village of Uplistsikhe lies on the other side of the river.
