Remains of 7–8th Century Fortress City Found Along Georgia-Azerbaijan Border

Archeologists have discovered the ruins of a 7 or 8th century city along the Georgia-Azerbaijan border.

Based on preliminary research, experts presume that the fortress city is Varazmanavr, which is spread over 12 hectares.

As can be determined from a surface inspection, the city was encircled by a large fortress wall. Inside, apart from residential houses, there was a chapel. Researchers have discovered fragments of this very chapel.

Further archaeological excavations along the Georgia-Azerbaijan border have not begun due to lack of funds. Experts believe that more meaningful discoveries can be made by digging deeper, reports Georgia Online.
