Our heritage talks about the roots of our nation
Telavi
Telavi - the main city and administrative center of Georgia's eastern province of Kakheti. Telavi began to transform into a fairly important and large political and administrative center in the 8th century AD. The city is located on foot-hills of Tsiv-Gombori Range at 500–800 meters above the sea level.
Telavi rich in historical, architectural and natural monuments. The most important heritage monuments preserved within the city are:
Dzveli Galavani ("Old Walls") - fortress of the first Kakhetian kings (9th–10thcc); Church of the St. Mary (16th c);
Church of the Holy Trinity (6th c);
Fortress Batonis Tsikhe ("Fortress of Master") built in the 17th century; one of the only well-preserved medieval royal palaces in Georgia.
Korchibashishvilebis Tsikhe - castle of the local noblemen named Korchibashishvili, (16th–18th c);
Vakhvakhishvilebis Tsikhe - castle of the local noblemen named Vakhvakhishvili, (18th c);
Telavi is the only city in Georgia where four different fortification monuments from different historical periods remain relatively intact. Due to this reason, architects, scholars and art historians consider Telavi as the most "medieval" city in the country. Another curious sight in Telavi is a 900-year-old plane tree which is 40 m (130 ft) high and 11 m (36 ft) around the trunk.
