Not far from Gori lies the ancient cave city of Uplistsikhe. People settled on the plateau as early as the Bronze Age. The fortress city was founded in the 6th century BC and developed into a trading center on the Silk Road with approximately 5,000 inhabitants. The oldest surviving written reference dates back to the 1st century. Attempts to conquer Uplistsikhe repeatedly failed; it wasn't until the 13th century that the Mongol ruler Ögedei Khan succeeded in capturing and destroying the city (Wikipedia).
