Tour Location
Mtskheta is a city in Mtskheta-Mtianeti province of Georgia. As one of the oldest cities of Georgia, it is located approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Tbilisi.
- The next stop on our tour is Gori. Gori is a city in eastern Georgia. Gori is located 86 kilometers (53 mi) west of Georgia's capital Tbilisi.
- Uplistsikhe which translates to the Fortress of the Lord is a cave town fortress situated on a rocky massif on the left bank of the river Mtkvari. Dating back to I-II millennium B.C. Uplistsikhe was an important religious, political and cultural center in the Hellenistic and the late Antique periods. Visitors can still walk among the ancient streets, rock-carved theatre, royal halls, a pharmacy, pagan temples, and Christian churches, while the remains of granaries and large clay wine vessels give us some clue as to the daily life of the inhabitants.
- Joseph Stalin’s Museum in Gori – Stalin originally Georgian, was the secretary-general of the Communist Party during the second world war and one of the most influential dictators of modern times. The museum features Stalin’s house – a hut where he was born; his armor-plated railway carriage and a statue that was controversially standing in the main square of Gori up until 2010. In addition, many items that were owned by Stalin, including some of his office furniture, his personal belongings, and gifts made to him over the years. There is also much illustration by way of documentation, photographs, paintings, and newspaper article.
