Ananuri it's a small fortress complex on the Georgian Military Road.
Ananuri Fortress, which dates from the 13th century, was once home to the Duchy of Aragvi. The complex is comprised of two castles, of which the upper one is well preserved, and two churches. The Church of the Assumption (Ghvtismshobeli), which dates from 1689, has decorative facades and some impressive frescoes that survived the fire of 1739. The site was strategic location and the scene of numerous battles throughout history, including the massacre of the Aragvi clan in 1739. The best views of the fortress are from the road bridge, with the mountains and Zhinvali reservoir as the backdrop.
