The Ananuri fortified ensemble (architect K. Bakhsarashvili), dating from the 17th century, is located on the left bank of the Aragvi River, along the famous original Georgian Military Highway, 66km from Tbilisi. It incorporates a circuit wall with turrets, a porch, a Church of Virgin, a minor Church of Gvtaeba, a tower with a stepped pyramidal roof of Svanetian type, a single-nave Church Mkurnali, tower Sheupovari, a bell-tower, a spring, and a reservoir.

The Church of the Assumption, built-in 1689, has richly decorated facades with the fine relief carvings featuring human, animal, and floral images, including a carved north entrance. It also contains the remains of a number of beautiful frescoes.
