Telavi, Medieval city in Kakheti region, Georgia
Located in eastern Georgia at 722 meters elevation, Telavi spreads across the foothills of the Tsiv-Gombori Range near the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
The city evolved from a Bronze Age settlement to become the capital of Kakheti Kingdom in the 10th century, reaching its peak during King Erekle II's reign.
The History Museum within the fortress compound features underground exhibition halls displaying regional ethnographic objects, textiles, and wine industry artifacts.
Two highways connect Telavi to Tbilisi, with the journey taking approximately one hour and fifty-five minutes by car through mountain roads.
Four intact fortification monuments from different historical periods stand within Telavi, making it a notable example of medieval Georgian architecture.
