Kvemo Kartli, Administrative region in southeastern Georgia
Kvemo Kartli is an administrative region in southeastern Georgia with varied landscapes shaped by industry and agriculture. The area spans flat plains and hilly terrain, with Rustavi serving as the regional center and main urban hub.
The region was established as an administrative unit in 1995 following Georgia's post-Soviet reorganization and has roots in the historical province of Kartlie. This restructuring marked a turning point in the country's modern governance framework.
The region is home to mixed communities where Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and Armenians live together and maintain their traditions through local festivals and daily practices. This cultural diversity shapes how people in the area celebrate and gather throughout the year.
The region connects through its capital Rustavi via main transportation routes to Tbilisi and neighboring countries Armenia and Azerbaijan. The road network allows visitors to access different parts of the area relatively easily.
The Dmanisi archaeological site in the region contains some of the oldest known human remains discovered outside Africa, revealing early stages of human evolution. This location draws researchers and those interested in ancient history.
