HFF from Vardzia

HFF from Vardzia
Vardzia, in Southern Georgia is a giant complex completed by Queen Tamar in 1186. It is carved into a high cliff face, and has over 600 rooms with connecting tunnels, stairways and water supply. It had royal apartments, a monastery, stables, a cave church, whose frescoes and interior paintings, completed in 1165 are still in amazing condition. An amazing complex.
Happy weekend and big hugs to all. Thanks for visits and comments, always!

Seems to have been a formidable dwelling.
I have seen something similar in Grand Canaria.
Already the Guanches, the natives of the Canary Islands lived in such cave dwellings before the Spaniards conquered the island.
