Sighnaghi is a town in Georgia's easternmost region of Kakheti and the administrative center of the Sighnaghi District. Sighnaghi has recently undergone a fundamental reconstruction program and has become an important centre of Georgia's tourist industry.
We had a nice trip through changed landscapes with lot of lowering fruit trees.
At the elevation of about 790 m above seal level, the town overlooks the Alazani Valley and faces the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
Sighnaghi has established as a Town at the end of the 18th century. However the archeological finds have proved that the area had played an important role in the history of the country since the ancient times, during the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze ages.
The town has a well preserved defensive wall around a big area. The wall was build of the settlements in the valley, so people could seek shelter when invaders came.
