Welcome to my new vlog! Gori is a historic city in eastern Georgia, serving as the regional capital of Shida Kartli. Situated at the confluence of the Mtkvari and Liakhvi rivers, it holds significant strategic importance due to its location on the main highway connecting eastern and western Georgia. Its name, derived from the Georgian word "gora," meaning "hill," aptly describes the city's landscape, dominated by the ancient Gori Fortress atop a rocky elevation.
Historically, Gori has been inhabited since the early Bronze Age, with the Gori Fortress appearing in records as early as the 7th century. The city gained town status in the 12th century under King David IV. Throughout its history, Gori has faced numerous invasions and occupations by various regional powers, including the Ottomans and Persians, underscoring its pivotal location.
Today, Gori is perhaps most widely recognized as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, the former leader of the Soviet Union. The Joseph Stalin State Museum is a major draw, featuring his childhood home, personal belongings, and even his armored railway carriage. However, Gori offers much more beyond its association with Stalin.
Other notable attractions include the imposing Gori Fortress (Goristsikhe), which provides panoramic views of the city and the surrounding area. Just a short distance away lies the ancient Uplistsikhe Cave Town, a fascinating rock-hewn settlement dating back to the Iron Age, with carved structures including temples and residential areas. The 7th-century Ateni Sioni Church, known for its frescoes, is also located nearby in the picturesque Ateni Gorge.
Gori also boasts a vibrant local market, a historical-ethnographic museum, and various churches, offering insights into Georgian culture and history. Despite a 1920 earthquake that destroyed many older structures, the city still features some charming old town architecture.
