The city of Mtskheta is the oldest city in Georgia and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It holds great significance as it is part of the largest wine-making and distilling region in the country.
Located 20 km north of Tbilisi, Mtskheta sits at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers. The confluence is very beautiful, as the two rivers have distinct textures and colors; one is brown, and the other is green. The city is home to many old churches and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. There is evidence of settlements in the city dating back to the Bronze Age.
City of Mtskheta and the Confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi Rivers
The city of Mtskheta was founded by the ancient Meschian tribes in the 5th century BC. I had the opportunity to visit an old Orthodox church in this city, which is full of flowers and fresh air.
