Vardzia is a cave monastery site in southern Georgia. The main period of construction was the second half of the twelfth century. The underground halls of the “mountain queen,” dug out of the solid rock, Vardzia looks like it was taken directly from the pages of Lord of the Rings. In reality it is a cave-palace-monastery built not by dwarfs, but by Georgians in the Caucasus for their fabled queen Tamar. Rabati Castle is located in the town of Akhaltsikhe. Rabati Castle was built in the XIII century and had seen many invasions and destructions.
