Overview

History of the Middle Ages. Is it the romance of knightly deeds or a period of bloody conspiracies?

Those cities gave way to the medieval complexes that have survived to this day, which witnessed the strengthening of an influential family, weaving intrigues against the strengthening and centralization of royal power to please themselves and to the detriment of the entire state, and then balancing on strings of diplomatic tricks in order to survive themselves and protect their vassals.

Tune in for a long journey of up to 15 hours, during which we will ride along the ancient trade route and along the bottom of the Kura gorge, visit and climb three interesting historical complexes, take many vivid photographs as a keepsake, have lunch in a cozy tavern with beautiful views of the Erusheti plateau, and in the evening, we will return to Tbilisi.

Akhaltsikhe Castle - Rabat
Akhaltsikhe Castle - Rabat

This is a fortress and historical complex in the south of Georgia. In the 9th century, the chronicles referred to the city of Lomsia, which is translated from Georgian as “lion”). Already from that time there was some kind of fortification here. Later, in the 12th century, the influential Jakeli family built a castle on the territory of the fortress, the city was renamed Akhaltsikhe and became the center of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region with multinational quarters and lively trade. But from the 16th to the 19th century, the reinforced and expanded fortress turns into an impregnable strategic object of the Ottoman Empire. The name "rabat" has Arabic roots and means a settlement or trading quarter around the fortress. Therefore, calling the fortress as "Rabat" is not correct, since it is necessary to explain this discount of which fortress.

Sapara monastery complex
Sapara monastery complex

The monastery has existed since the 9th century. At the end of the 13th century, Sapara became the possession of the Jakeli family. The ruler of the principality, Sargis Jakeli, managed to maintain good relations with the Mongols by skillful diplomatic manipulations, which made his reign peaceful and further strengthened the position of the principality. At the end of his life, Sargis took monastic vows and changed his name to Saba (Sava). His son Beka built the largest of the 12 churches here, the Church of Saint Sava, named after his father's patron saint, one of the most architecturally significant churches of its time. Its 14th-century frescoes have been perfectly preserved to this day and are of great cultural importance as an example of the culture of that time. The frescoes depict, in particular, portraits of the Jakeli princes and in three registers scenes from the Old and New Testaments.
From the end of the 16th century to the beginning of the 17th century, the Sapara Monastery was empty due to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire in Samtskhe. In 1877-1878 the monastery was destroyed by Muslims, in 1893 it was restored.

Khertvisi Fortress
Khertvisi Fortress

This is one of the most ancient fortresses of the Georgian Middle Ages. It is located on a high rocky hill in a gorge at the confluence of the Kura and Paravan rivers. Chroniclers of the Middle Ages wrote in their chronicles that one of the first large cities of Georgia stood on this site, since it is mentioned in connection with the campaign and movement of part of the troops of Alexander the Great in the Caucasus. The bulk of the buildings of the complex that have survived to this day date back to the 10th-14th centuries, as well as small extensions of the 16th-18th centuries. The fortress of Khertvisi, as well as the fortress of Akhaltsikhe Rabat, was controlled by the Ottoman Empire from the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century.

Vardzia cave complex
Vardzia cave complex

Vardzia is an outstanding monument of medieval Georgian architecture erected in the 12th - 13th centuries. Over 900 m along the left bank of the Kura, in the sheer tuff wall of the Erusheti mountain plateau, up to 600 rooms were carved: churches, chapels, residential cells, pantries, baths, refectories, treasuries, libraries. The premises of the complex go 50 meters deep into the cliff and rise to a height of eight floors. Secret passages have been preserved that connected the premises, the remains of the water supply system and the irrigation system. Since 1938 The complex has been declared an open-air museum reserve.

    Lying down and vomiting between courses: This is how Ancient Romans would feast [url=https://rutordeepeib6lopqoor55gfbnvh2zbsyxqpv5hnjg2qcji2x7sookqd.com]rutor8[/url] Imagine, if you will, the most glorious festive feast, with an oversize turkey, stuffing two ways, holiday ham, the requisite fixings and at least half a dozen pies and cakes. That may all sound grand — that is, until you consider the extravagant displays of the ancient Roman banquet. Members of the Roman upper classes regularly indulged in lavish, hours-long feasts that served to broadcast their wealth and status in ways that eclipse our notions of a resplendent meal. “Eating was the supreme act of civilization and celebration of life,” said Alberto Jori, professor of ancient philosophy at the University of Ferrara in Italy. https://rutor-8.com rutor24x7.to Ancient Romans enjoyed sweet and salty concoctions. Lagane, a rustic short pasta usually served with chickpeas, was also used to make a honey cake with fresh ricotta cheese. The Romans used garum, a pungent, salty fermented fish sauce for umami flavor in all dishes, even as a dessert topping. (For context, garum has a similar flavor profile and composition to current-day Asian fish sauces such as Vietnam’s nuoc mam and Thailand’s nam pla.) The prized condiment was made by leaving fish meat, blood and guts to ferment inside containers under the Mediterranean sun. Game meat such as venison, wild boar, rabbit and pheasant along with seafood like raw oysters, shellfish and lobster were just some of the pricey foods that made regular appearances at the Roman banquet. What’s more, hosts played a game of one-upmanship by serving over-the-top, exotic dishes like parrot tongue stew and stuffed dormouse. “Dormouse was a delicacy that farmers fattened up for months inside pots and then sold at markets,” Jori said. “While huge quantities of parrots were killed to have enough tongues to make fricassee.” https://rutorcoolfldlmrpalkmfklw3nyzad6b6fycdtof3xbnixkerr47udyd.com rutorforum Giorgio Franchetti, a food historian and scholar of ancient Roman history, recovered lost recipes from these repasts, which he shares in “Dining With the Ancient Romans,” written with “archaeo-cook” Cristina Conte. Together, the duo organize dining experiences at archaeological sites in Italy that give guests a taste of what eating like a Roman noble was all about. These cultural tours also delve into the eyebrow-raising rituals that accompanied these meals.

    дизайнерский ремонт квартиры москва

    Дизайнерский ремонт: искусство преображения пространства Дизайн интерьера играет важную роль в создании комфортной и уютной атмосферы в доме. Сегодня мы поговорим о таком понятии, как дизайнерский ремонт, который позволяет превратить обычное жилье в уникальное пространство, отражающее индивидуальность владельца. [url=https://designapartment.ru]дизайнерский ремонт коттеджа[/url] Что такое дизайнерский ремонт? Дизайнерский ремонт — это комплекс работ, направленных на создание оригинального дизайна помещения. Это не просто обновление отделки, а полноценный творческий процесс, включающий разработку концепции, подбор материалов и мебели, а также реализацию проекта. Ключевые особенности дизайнерского ремонта: [url=https://designapartment.ru]дизайнерский ремонт апартаментов под ключ[/url] - Индивидуальный подход к каждому проекту. - Использование качественных материалов и современных технологий. - Создание уникального стиля, соответствующего вкусам заказчика. - Оптимизация пространства для максимального комфорта и функциональности. Виды дизайнерских ремонтов [url=https://designapartment.ru]дизайнерский ремонт квартиры под ключ[/url] Существует несколько видов дизайнерских ремонтов, каждый из которых имеет свои особенности и преимущества. #1 Дизайнерский ремонт квартиры Это наиболее распространенный вид ремонта, подходящий для тех, кто хочет обновить интерьер своей городской квартиры. Специалисты разрабатывают проект, учитывая размеры помещений, пожелания клиента и бюджет. Такой ремонт включает перепланировку, замену коммуникаций, отделочные работы и декорирование. Пример дизайна: светлая гостиная с панорамными окнами, минималистичный дизайн кухни и спальни в стиле лофт. #2 Дизайнерский ремонт дома Такой ремонт предполагает полное преобразование жилого дома, начиная от фундамента и заканчивая крышей. Здесь важно учитывать архитектурные особенности здания, климатические условия региона и предпочтения владельцев. Часто используется экодизайн, натуральные материалы и энергосберегающие технологии. Пример дизайна: просторный холл с камином, стеклянная веранда с видом на сад, спальня в пастельных тонах. #3 Дизайнерский ремонт виллы Ремонт вилл требует особого подхода, поскольку такие объекты часто расположены в живописных местах и имеют большую площадь. Важно сохранить гармонию с окружающей средой, используя природные материалы и цвета. Особое внимание уделяется созданию зон отдыха, бассейнов и садов. Пример дизайна: роскошная вилла с бассейном, открытая терраса с видами на море, спальная зона в тропическом стиле. #4 Дизайнерский ремонт коттеджа Коттедж отличается от обычного дома наличием придомового участка и возможностью организации дополнительных функциональных зон. Ремонт коттеджей включает работу над фасадом, ландшафтом и внутренним пространством. Стили могут варьироваться от классики до хай-тека. Пример дизайна: двухэтажный коттедж с мансардой, гостиная-столовая в скандинавском стиле, детская комната с игровой зоной. #5 Дизайнерский ремонт пентхауса Пентхаус — это элитное жилье, расположенное на верхних этажах зданий с панорамными видами. Для такого типа недвижимости характерны высокие потолки, большие окна и эксклюзивные элементы декора. Проектирование пентхауса требует учета особенностей конструкции здания и пожеланий клиентов относительно приватности и удобства. Пример дизайна: современный пентхаус с открытой планировкой, кабинет с видом на город, зона отдыха с джакузи. Заключение Дизайнерский ремонт — это возможность создать идеальное пространство для жизни и отдыха. Независимо от того, хотите ли вы обновить квартиру, дом, виллу, коттедж или пентхаус, профессиональный подход гарантирует вам комфорт и эстетическое удовольствие на долгие годы. https://designapartment.ru дизайнерский ремонт виллы под ключ москва
