The Kartli region, renowned for its diversity, comprises numerous cultural sites, ranging from historical landmarks to captivating landscapes. With origins tracing back to the first half of the III millennium BC, the region’s history spans various eras from classical to medieval, seeing several transformations. Kartli was deemed the abode of deities and was represented on earth by priests, leaders, and monarchs. Each stratum of the soil retains remnants of different eras. The region, located at the cultural crossroads, held immense significance as it bridged the East and the West. Its rocky trail still bears evidence of wheeled vehicle movements down the centuries. Mithraism or Zoroastrianism periodically ruled the region, with autonomous priests carrying out sanctified rituals. They conducted sacrifices on their altars, exalted female deities, and kindled sacred fires. More stories await on the tour.
