The fortress on the very top of the impregnable rock - Demoti is located near the village of Kvabiskhevi, next to Mount Persati.
The Demoti Fortress is the oldest Georgian building - this information can be found in various historical sources. However, its reliability is very questionable. According to legend, the fortress Demotiszikhe was built by Sumbat Bivritian.
The Demoti Fortress is a cultural monument located in the village of Kvabiskhevi, near Mount Persati. The sights of Georgia are of great value for the history of the entire state.
The peculiarity of Demoti is that it is located on top of a dangerous cliff. If you look at reliable, scientifically supported sources, you can be convinced that this cultural monument is the oldest in Georgia. This cultural monument has survived a long period of time, thereby witnessing the various changes of the country. There are almost no descriptions of the fortress, history and events that took place there.
All historical data related to this monument of culture, we can learn only from some historical references. For example, Batonish, a Georgian king and geographer gave us a few interesting facts about this fortress. He tells readers that on the edge of the river Mtvari stands a fortress called Demotiszikhe, which was built by Sumbat Bivritian. When you visit the Demoti fortress, I recommend you to take pictures of these picturesque places, as the pictures will be the most beautiful.
