უსაფრთხოების გარემო და ისტორია ჰარმონიულად ერწყმის ერთმანეთს ამ გამორჩეულ ადგილას, რაც განსაკუთრებით ამაღელვებელია ტაძრის ფონზე.

На фоне живописных грузинских пейзажей, это место словно отголосок древности, зовущий к размышлениям. Каменные стены и следы былой жизни на них... что-то в этом есть. Хотя замок и церковь требуют бережной руки времени, ощущение истории здесь удивительно живое. Отрадно видеть, как возрождается храм. Наверное, именно такие места заставляют остановиться и задуматься о вечности.

Грузия всегда впечатляла меня своей историей и культурой, но это место оказалось не совсем тем, чего я ожидал. Да, атмосфера там особенная, и вид открывается потрясающий, но ощущение какой-то недоработки всё же остаётся. Может, из-за частых реконструкций что-то потерялось, а может, просто усталость сказывается. В любом случае, если вы ищете место для медитации или вдохновения, советую присмотреть что-то более цельное.

Imagine stepping into a slice of history, nestled amidst a landscape so dramatic it takes your breath away. This place whispers tales of centuries gone by, with its ancient stones and echoes of the past. While the structures show signs of time's relentless touch, there's a quiet resilience in the air. The ongoing restoration work hints at a promising future for this gem. It's humbling and awe-inspiring—a space that invites reflection amid its storied walls. Worth a visit if you're drawn to places that blend nature, history, and a touch of mystery.

Nestled on a scenic slope, the complex seems to carry the weight of its turbulent past. The journey there is rewarding, presenting a tapestry of history and resilience. However, the preservation efforts, though commendable, left me wishing for clearer guidance throughout the site—language barriers didn’t help. While I appreciated the efforts to restore and maintain the site's spirit, I couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by its layered complexities and underwhelmed by the available amenities. An enlightening visit but prepare for a touch of chaos.

Замок имеет овальную форму и расположен на отвесной скале с северной стороны. Стены укреплены контрфорсами, построенными позже. В центральной части крепости находится большая зальная церковь
