The Georgian fortress of Uznariani is a living witness to history, towering above the Gujarula River, like a guardian of ancient times. Built in the 10th century, this fortress in the Borjomi municipality, next to Tsagveri, is a hallmark of medieval architecture that protected the valley for centuries.
Folded into the rock, the Uznariani fortress recreates the impression of a single massif when viewed from the road. From three sides it seems impregnable, with a high humpbacked tower, which is adjacent to the wall. The sides that can be reached are fortified with a second row of fencing, making the fortress incredibly defensive.
The historical value of this place is visible in every stone, every wall. The ruins of the structures remain on the site, recalling the strategic choice of site for the building. The name of the fortress is associated with the plant, adding to the mystery of this historical monument.
The Uznarian fortress has become popular not only among historians, but also in the world of cinema. The film "Tsiskara" was filmed here, which embodied the beauty and grandeur of this place on the screen. Climbing the fortress is not only an immersion in history, but also an opportunity to enjoy stunning views of the valley. Travelers looking for a combination of history and majestic nature are sure to find this fort a unique experience.
