Ananuri is a fortress complex located on the Georgian Military Highway, about 70 kilometers from Tbilisi, Georgia's capital. The complex dates back to the 17th century and consists of two churches, a watchtower, and defensive walls.

The two churches in the complex are dedicated to the Virgin Mary and are decorated with beautiful frescoes and carvings. The watchtower served as a lookout and was used to protect the complex from invaders. The defensive walls were built to protect the complex from attacks, and they surround the churches, watchtower, and other buildings in the complex.

In addition to its historical and architectural significance, Ananuri is also surrounded by beautiful landscapes, with the Aragvi River flowing nearby and the Caucasus Mountains in the distance. The complex has become a popular tourist destination in Georgia, with visitors enjoying the beautiful scenery and exploring the fortress and its surroundings.
