Mtskheta – old capital of Georgia, a place of sacred pilgrims and main spiritual centers, located outside Tbilisi. You will never find a place full of so many antiquated temples to visit in just a day! A UNESCO World Heritage Site has been inhabited since before 1,000 BC and is home to some of the most significant landmarks. The town itself is tiny and does not require much time to explore, but there are other sites in its vicinity worth visiting!
