Dmanisi – National Museum of Georgia
Dmanisi is a multilayer archaeological site with three main periods: early Paleolithic, a Late Bronze-Early Iron Age settlement, and the medieval city. The latter, with rich archaeological, historical and architectural remains, will be the focus of this topic.
The fortified portion of the medieval city of Dmanisi covers 13 hectares and is located on a high, volcanic promontory at the confluence of the Mashavera and Pinezauri Rivers. The cemetery covers 25 hectares and is located on the slope of a mountain to the south of the citadel and fortifications. One of the suburbs in the north-west part of the city is located in the Mashavera River ravine and consists of tens of rock-cut dwellings distributed in four lines on the terrace. Three public bath complexes have been discovered in the southeastern part of the city, which is now the modern village of Patara Dmanisi. Considering Dmanisi’s proximity to the ancient caravan route, caravanserais and other trade centers likely existed within the city’s surrounding area.
