  • Description

On the magnificent slopes of the mountains of the Borjomi region, meeting the gaze of tourists with its majestic view, lurks a history carved in stone - the Dviri Fortress. This architectural ensemble, dating back to the 13th-14th centuries, recreates the spirit of antiquity on the right bank of the Mtkvari River, where stone walls intertwine with the mountain landscape.

The mighty ruins of the fortress, like guardians of time, hold in their arms the traces of great changes. One can see not only architectural delights, but also later changes that left their mark on the stone walls. The majestic structure is divided into two tiers, and its walls are carefully constructed from a variety of local stones, creating a unique character.

The Dviri Fortress stood not only as a historical monument, but also as a strategic object, serving as a link with other significant points of the Borjomi Gorge. Memories of its strategic importance are confirmed by finds of Byzantine coins from the 11th century, discovered in the 20th century, as well as the mouth of Mtkvari, where ancient artifacts have been preserved, like mysterious messages from the past.

Having visited the Dviri Fortress, you will not only plunge into the grandeur of the Middle Ages, but also feel the breath of time that touches every stone of its walls. This is a place for those who appreciate history, the grandeur of architecture and long for immersion in the unique atmosphere of the past. Head here to witness grandeur lost to the ages and feel connected to Georgia's heritage etched in stone and time.

    Дух захватывает с первых секунд входа. Как будто попала в другой век — старинные камни, узкие тропинки. Обязательно приходите пораньше, до толп туристов, чтобы спокойно изучить всё. Полазав по внутренним стенам, почувствовала себя ребёнком. Удивило, что здесь устраивают игры в стиле «Форт Боярд» — много веселых реквизитов. Для детей просто находка! Цена за вход доступная, а впечатления бесценные. Мы провели чудесный день, и это место навсегда останется в моем сердце.

    Spectacular view of the Kura valley from this historic place. The ascent is moderate but worth every step for the scenery alone.

    ციხე აგებულია მდინარე მტკვრის მარცხენა მხარეს, მთის წვერზე. დვირის ციხე ჩართული იყო იმ თავდაცვით სისტემაში, რომელიც მოიცავდა მტკვრის ხეობას ტაშისკარიდან აწყურის ციხემდე. ასევე აკონტროლებდა დასავლეთ საქართველოდან გადმომავალ ერთ-ერთ გზას, რომელიც სოფელ ქვაბისხევთან ჩამოდიოდა. ციხე საკმაოდ დაზიანებულია.

    From Dvir Castle there is a beautiful view of the Kura Valley. The road rises from the Dvir cemetery and is of medium difficulty.

    დვირის ციხიდან არის ულამაზესი ხედი მტკვრის ხეობაზე. გზა ადის დვირის სასაფლაოდან და არის საშუალო სირთულის.
