Giant swords on the plateau where King David the Builder won Georgia's most famous battle in 1121.
In August 1121, King David the Builder defeated a much larger Seljuk army on the Didgori plateau. The victory opened the way to Tbilisi and to Georgia's golden age, and the battle is still remembered every August.
The memorial on the battlefield is a ring of giant swords standing in the meadow, at 1,620 metres and only about an hour's drive from Tbilisi. Come for the history and stay for the wind and the views over the Trialeti range.
