About Uplistsikhe The ensemble carved into the Uplistsikhe rock and the settlements grouped around it have come a long way in development. The rock-cut settlement became the residence of the hegemon communities living near Uplistsikhe, and then the tribal union center of “Zena Village” (shida kartli), where the commander of this union (village headman), the Lord sat (hence the name Uplistsikhe). From the early antique period (VI-IV centuries AD) Uplistsikhe was an urban-type settlement, which became a major urban center in the early Hellenistic period (at the end of the IV century AD - III century). The rock-cut settlement became the inner city of the ancient city. From the IV century Uplistsikhe, like some other cities, demoted and only the southern strategic importance remained. During the struggle for the unification of Georgia (IX-X centuries), the weakened fortress-town of Uplistsikhe passed from hand to hand. In the IX-X centuries, Georgian kings, princes of Kakheti and kings of Armenia fought for dominance in Uplistsikhe. Uplistsikhe gradually lost its significance after the political unification of Georgia (70s of the X century). This process was crowned by the liberation of Tbilisi by David Agmashenebeli in 1122.

Уплисцихе – это не просто пещеры. Это целая эпоха. Это дом для миллионов человек, которые здесь жили, спали, обедали и ужинали, рожали детей, уходили воевать и умирали. Это огромные залы, которые выдолблены в скале руками неведомых нам людей.
