Description

 

In August 1121, at the narrow pass of Didgori, two worlds met – Christian Georgia and the thousands-strong Seljuk army. Here, David the Builder (Davit Aghmashenebeli) achieved one of the brightest victories of the Middle Ages, marking the beginning of the "Golden Age" of the country. Today, at the site of the battle, stands a rare and remarkable memorial that combines Christian and pre-Christian symbols, bronze warriors, swords thrust into the ground, and mysterious "singing" structures.

What awaits you:

  • The history of the Battle of Didgori and the figure of David Aghmashenebeli

  • The symbolism of the memorial

  • Legends and rituals

  • Time for photos, discussions, and relaxation at the base of the bronze warrior

  • A walk through the fortress of Nichbisi: the history of the Tzitzishvili family, the walls, the tower, and the eastern baths
