  • Description

Castle Nightingale (or Bulbul), is a picturesque historical ruin located in the heart of Georgia, in the Shida Kartli region. This castle, hidden among the green hills, is located just one and a half kilometers southwest of the village of Solovey, not far from the road connecting Kvishkheti to Imereti and other parts of the country.

Constructed from durable cobblestones during the feudal period, Nightingale Castle was once an important fortification, a key element of defense and communication between eastern and western Georgia. Today, all that remains of it are picturesque ruins: part of a semicircular tower on the western side and a southern tower with loopholes, stretching 35 meters in length and rising 5 meters in height. The walls of the castle, from 1.2 meters thick at the top to 2 meters at the bottom, remind of the former power and grandeur of this place.

This place is a must-visit for history buffs and fans of ancient ruins. Immersing yourself in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, you can feel the connection of times and imagine yourself as part of distant history. In addition, the landscape surrounding the castle offers stunning views, ideal for photos and outdoor walks.

    A hidden gem amidst rugged stones, you can't help but feel a profound sense of history's whispers. The atmosphere is hauntingly beautiful, with silent stories told by the crumbling walls. Walking through, one feels as if stepping back into a time of feudal battles and ancient defenses. The remnants of the old fortress evoke both wonder and a touch of melancholy, serving as a stark reminder of time's passage. A visit here is not just sightseeing; it's an emotional journey through Georgia's past.

    Прогулка по стенам "Замка Соловей" – это как взглянуть в сердце Грузии. С древних укреплений открывается вид, от которого захватывает дыхание. Виноградники простираются до самого горизонта, а на фоне величественных Кавказских гор всё это выглядит ещё романтичнее. Здесь можно забыть о суете и просто наслаждаться моментом, вдыхая свежий воздух и любуясь великолепным пейзажем. Ухоженные улочки Сигнахи придают этому месту особый шарм и делают визит незабываемым.

Гуляя по руинам замка, ощущаешь дух средневековья и видишь живописные виды на окружающих пейзажах, которые завораживают своим существованием.

    ნაგებია რიყის ქვით. ძლიერ დაზიანებულია, დანგრეულია ჩრდილოეთი და აღმოსავლეთის კედლები. შემორჩენილია ნახევარწრიული ბოდოლის ნაშთები. კედელი თოფებით დასავლეთ და სამხრეთ ნაწილში

    Это старинное строение на вершине холма выглядело как декорация к сказке. Виды с него просто потрясающие: бескрайние долины и величественные горы.
