- Jvari Church - Jvari Monastery, a sixth-century Georgian Orthodox monastery, is situated near Mtskheta in eastern Georgia. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site list, along with other historic structures in Mtskheta. The monastery is perched on a rocky mountaintop where the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers meet. According to tradition, Saint Nino, a female evangelist who converted King Mirian III of Iberia to Christianity, erected a large wooden cross here in the early 4th century. This cross was believed to perform miracles, attracting pilgrims from across the Caucasus. Around 545, a small church named the “Small Church of Jvari” was built over the cross’s remnants.
- Jinvali Water Reservoir - The Zhinvali Dam, located on the Aragvi River in the Caucasus Mountains in Zhinvali, Georgia, is a hydroelectric dam. The Zhinvali Hydroelectric Power Plant features two turbines, each with a nominal capacity of 65 MW, totaling 130 MW. The Jinvali water reservoir is notable for its unique V shape and distinctive water color, offering stunning views.
- Ananuri Fortified Castle Ensemble - Ananuri is a castle complex on the Aragvi River in Georgia, approximately 45 miles (72 kilometers) from Tbilisi. It was ruled by a feudal dynasty from the 13th century and was the site of numerous battles. The complex includes two churches, among other buildings. The older Church of the Virgin, adjacent to a tall square tower, contains the graves of some Dukes of Aragvi and dates back to the first half of the 17th century, constructed from brick. The larger Church of the Mother of God (Ghvtismshobeli), built in 1689 for the son of Duke Bardzem, is a central dome-style structure with richly decorated façades, including a carved north entrance and a carved grapevine cross on the south façade. It also houses remnants of frescoes, most of which were destroyed by fire in the 18th century.
- Russian Georgian Friendship Monument - This location offers breathtaking views of the mountains and valley, complemented by beautiful wall murals. The monument was erected in 1983 to commemorate the bicentennial of the Treaty of Georgievsk and the “ongoing friendship” between Georgia and Soviet Russia. Nearby, visitors can enjoy activities such as ballooning and paragliding.
