During our journey along the Georgian Military Road, we will be enchanted by the picturesque Zhinvali reservoir and the majestic fortress of Ananuri. The Ananuri ensemble captivates from afar, strategically positioned on a small cape where the Aragvi and Vedzathevi rivers meet. As we venture further, we'll come across Dusheti — a formidable fortress that once dominated this road, standing as a testament to high fortification art. The buildings that constitute the ensemble were erected between the 15th and 18th centuries, with only the citadel surviving from the vast castle complex. Ananuri belonged to the influential Aragvi Eristavas, who were among the most powerful feudal families of late medieval Georgia. Their relentless pursuit of power led them to confrontations and conflicts, with no Aragvi eristavas dying of natural causes, as chroniclers report. The Ananuri ensemble's earliest construction is a twenty-meter watchtower (15th century) featuring a pyramidal-stepped ceiling at the heart of the citadel. Subsequently, during the 15th-17th centuries, a small church was built between two lines of fortifications, followed by a medium-sized domed temple on the mountain ridge. The construction of the magnificent temple inside the citadel, known for its exquisite facades, was completed in 1689, showcasing the brilliance of late Middle Ages architecture. Continuing our journey along the Georgian Military Road northwards after leaving Ananuri, we will traverse the narrowing Aragvi gorge and reach Pasanauri, where a captivating natural phenomenon awaits: the confluence of the White and Black Aragvi. Our path will lead us through the scenic Gudauri ski resort, featuring a mesmerizing mountain serpentine, until we arrive at the "Arch of Friendship" atop the mountain. From this vantage point, we'll be treated to the sight of a turquoise lake, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and dotted with various architectural monuments, including ancient towers. Our next destination, which stands out against the magnificent backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains and Mount Kazbeg, is the Gergetis Sameba ensemble. This 14th-century church of the Holy Trinity in Gergeti is a small yet remarkable masterpiece comprising a domed temple, a bell tower, and a fortress wall. Rising at an impressive height of 2200 meters, Gergeti is not only an outstanding example of Georgian architecture but also a stunning marvel of landscape architecture.
