Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Administrative region in eastern Georgia
Mtskheta-Mtianeti extends across 5,606 square kilometers of diverse terrain, from ancient settlements to high mountain peaks of the Greater Caucasus range.
The region gained its current administrative status in 1995, incorporating the former capital of ancient Iberia and surrounding mountainous territories.
The monasteries, churches, and fortresses throughout Mtskheta-Mtianeti represent centuries of Georgian architectural development and religious traditions.
Four municipalities form the region under Georgian control: Dusheti, Kazbegi, Tianeti, and Mtskheta, with direct road connections to the capital Tbilisi.
The region contains multiple UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral where Georgian kings were crowned and buried until the 19th century.
