Gremi, Medieval citadel in Kakheti, Georgia
The Gremi complex contains a three-story castle, a bell tower, and the Church of Archangels with red brick domes and carved stone decorations.
The citadel functioned as the capital of the Kingdom of Kakheti from 1466 to 1616, when Persian armies destroyed most of the settlement.
The Church of Archangels features medieval frescoes depicting religious scenes and portraits of King Levan of Kakheti and Queen Tinatin.
Located at 42.013611°N 45.670278°E, the complex includes a museum displaying artifacts from archaeological excavations conducted between 1939 and 1949.
The citadel combines Georgian, Persian, and Armenian architectural elements, reflecting the trading connections of medieval Kakheti with neighboring regions.
