Photographer’s Note

Ananuri is a Castle on the Aragvi River in Georgia, about 45 miles from Tbilisi.

The fortifications enclose, amongst other buildings, two churches. In the older Church of the Virgin are buried some of the Eristavis (dukes) of Aragvi.

The Church of the Assumption, built in 1689, has richly decorated facades, including a carved north entrance. It also contains the remains of a number of frescoes.
