The Georgian town of Kaspi is located on the left bank of the Kura River, where the Lehura flows into it. According to one legend, Kaspi was built by decree of the great-grandson of Noah's sons, Japhet.
During archaeological excavations carried out within and outside the city, fragments were found indicating the presence of the first settlements in these places in the 5th century BC. The exposition of the local history museum presents a unique collection of artifacts of the 3rd - 1st centuries BC.
It is believed that in the 8th century Kaspi was quite a large and rich trading city. However, the Arab invasion turned it into a very small village. However, in those days such a fate touched not only Kaspi.
The caves located near the city are called the Caspian Necropolis. They appeared in the 6th century, were used for burials and were carved by hand.
On the territory of the city you can find several temples and churches that were built in the 5-7 centuries. One of the most ancient buildings is the church of Theodore Tironi, the holy warrior and Great Martyr.
It should be noted that the church frescoes do not belong to the ancient era. Regarding hotels and inns, experienced tourists and travelers recommend turning their attention to the private sector. Prices may vary.
