Ananuri Fortress: a tale etched in stone. Situated along the Aragvi River, this fortress is the only one in Georgia that has preserved its original structure. As you explore the grounds of the Ananuri defense complex, you'll feel transported back to the Middle Ages and discover the rich history of the Aragva eristavi (chieftains).
