Ujarma is a huge ancient fortress I drove past multiple times. I finally found some time to scan it and it exceeded my expectations. It is conveniently located on the side of a major road and easily accessible. I took 400 shots with a drone and around 1000 with a camera going pretty fast around the huge fortress.
from wikipedia According to Georgian chronicler Leonti Mroweli, the cornerstone of the Ujarma fortress was built by the King of Iberia, Aspacures I, in the III-IV centuries. In the reign of King Vakhtang Gorgasali and King Dachi, the fortress was extended and used as a residence. During their time, the citadel was built with strong towers and strong walls, palaces and churches. After Vakhtang V made Ujar one of his residences in the second half of the century, the fortress-town experienced a special rise. IV - VIII century Ujar played an important role in the history of the country.
