- Jvari Church - The Jvari monastic temple, celebrated in Michael Lermontov’s poem “Mtsyri,” is one of the oldest religious monuments, constructed at the dawn of Georgian Christianity in the 6th century (585-604). The name “Jvari” translates to “cross” in Georgian, reflecting the ancient legend that St. Nino of Kappadokia placed the Sacred Cross here, marking Georgia’s embrace of Christianity. Subsequently, the Temple of the Sacred Cross was built over this cross. Notably, the Small Jvari temple was initially constructed (now in ruins beside the main temple), followed by the Big Jvari, which was erected to preserve the Sacred Cross relic. Historical records indicate that the Cross was visible from afar and revered until the 6th century.
- Jinvali Water Reservoir - The Zhinvali Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Aragvi River in the Caucasus Mountains, located in Zhinvali, Georgia. The Zhinvali Hydroelectric Power Plant features two turbines, each with a nominal capacity of 65 MW, totaling 130 MW. The Jinvali water reservoir is uniquely V-shaped, and its water color is remarkable, 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 witnessed numerous battles. The complex includes two churches, among other structures. 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 of 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 intricately 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 an 18th-century fire. Visitors can also explore the St. George Church in Ananuri and admire its unique wall murals.
- Russian Georgian Friendship Monument - This location offers stunning views of the mountains and valley, complemented by beautiful wall art. 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 activities include ballooning and paragliding, providing breathtaking views of the valley and mountains.
