Gori, Regional capital in Shida Kartli, Georgia
Gori is a regional capital in Shida Kartli, Georgia, located where the Mtkvari and Liakhvi rivers meet. The town ranks among the five most populous centers in the eastern part of the country.
The fortress emerged in the 7th century under the name Tontio and served as a military post between the eastern and western parts of Georgia. Over the centuries, the site remained a strategic junction in the region.
The museum displays the Soviet leader's personal railway equipment and preserves thousands of objects from his life. Visitors can view his early writings and documents from his time as a theology student.
The town is about an hour from Tbilisi by bus or car. Many visitors combine a stop here with trips to nearby monasteries or the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe.
The local museum holds archaeological finds from the fourth millennium before the common era, documenting Bronze Age settlements in the area. This collection represents some of the oldest recorded traces of human occupation in the region.
