Vardzia-Khertvisi is a mixed history-rich 18 km long valley which is a mixed nomination, probably aiming at Cultural landscape status. It includes: the 10th century fortress-residence of Khertvisi; the 12th century rock-cut monastery-complex of Vardzia which is very important in Georgian history (including with famous Queen Tamar); numerous rock-cut religious building from high-artistic churches to ordinary chapels; and a peculiar landscape of a deep gorge and arable land.
