Like the other cave-towns of Georgia, it is akin to the similar rock structures of Urardhu and the Hittites, which are rooted in the prehistoric traditions of the peoples of the Near East. On the one side the troglodyte fortress was protected by the Kura and an almost vertical rock face, on the other, by powerful fortifications. Its strategic position on the approaches Gori and, in particular, its strong defences made it possible for it to control the surrounding terrain.
One should be surprised that there were numerous attempts to destroy it. Only in the 13th century, however, did the hordes of Genghis Khan's son Khulagu succed in doing so, after capturing and destroying many fortresses in Transcaucasia with the help of siege machines. The five thousand inhabitants of Uplistsikhe perished and life ended forever in the fortress. Continue the way to Stalin Museum in Gori.
