    Amazing!
    I took a group tour to Signagi and we walked across the Signagi Wall. Absolutely incredible! The history, the views, walking along something so old and important to the town. Also check out the inside of the watch towers! Very cool! Free to access and explore. The stone steps leading up and down the wall are not even. Some are very steep or have collapsed so you need to be wearing good footwear and watch where you are going.

    History and former security still standing tall in Telavi
    Walking through Telavi as part of the Kakheti tour, you are sure to get a glimpse of this wall. Had I not just visited Morocco where I saw so much similar structures I would have been more blown away. Nonetheless, the walls are still standing strong and resilient of the Georgian history.

    Wonderful historical place
    Sighnaghi wall was built in the 18th century. It was a 4 km wall, with 28 towers, named according to the village. Only a part of the wall is visible, which is used for tourism. An elevated pathway is built along the wall, where one can walk along the wall. Sighnaghi was a place of refuge for people from conquerors from time to time. The view from the wall is very picturesque. It's the most interesting part of Sighnaghi.

Signagi is small town surrounded by the Caucasus Mountains, the vast Alazani Valley and the famous wineries of the Kakheti Region. It is also known as the "City of Love", as many Georgians choose to celebrate their vows and weddings here. And finally, at only 2 kms from Signagi, one may visit the holy "Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino", where the holy relics and gravesite of the beloved Georgian Saint are enshrined. The famous "Walls of Signagi" were built under the orders of King Erekle II in 1770 and, originally, were nearly 5 kms long. A small section was restored and can be visited by all tourists, offering beautiful views of the valley ahead. Enjoy!

Very authentic walls and gateways. We walked from the town out to the walls and then along a stretch of the walls themselves taking in several of the towers. We climbed up one of the towers for the extra view, it wasn't easy as there were only makeshift steps inside between floors - well worth it for the views if you can manage it. Great views over the valley and surrounding countryside.

Stopped in Signagi on our way from Tbilisi to Telavi and had a walk along the walls. They look just like a mini Great Wall of China! The walkway looks rickety and dangerous but if you are careful of your footing it is OK. Signagi itself is quite cute with plenty of shopping opportunities and coffee places.

We truly enjoyed walking in, around, and along the wall. It really felt like a very miniature version of the Great Wall, but obviously not on the same scale. The views of the Valley below were majestic!

Impressive fortress in Signaghi is among the most famous in Georgia, and its defensive city walls make for nearly the largest of the remaining (or restored) Georgian fortified towns.

The fortress was built around 1770 at the times of Kartli-Kakheti King Erekle (Heraclius) II to protect Signaghi – the then centre of Kizikhi area. The thoroughly fortified town was surrounded by the defensive walls 4.5-5km long with 28 (according to other sources – 23) watch towers and 8 gates. Each tower of the fortress was named after the nearest village, so that the residents of this village knew where to hide in case of danger and which tower they were to defend.

Today, the city walls run through the Old Town of Signaghi, circle it, and then extend further beyond the city line, descending and climbing the slopes of the nearby hills. It’s not possible to walk along the entire perimeter of the walls, but quite a substantial part of them had been restored and is opened to visitors. At where we have climbed, the entrance was free, and I believe this is the case elsewhere around the town.

Most gates and many towers are in surprisingly good condition. Few fortress towers are scattered around the Old town; wandering about it, we would bump into a tower here and there – in a private garden, or by a restaurant, or at the corner of a street…

Even if you are not at all keen in fortification, the city walls in Signaghi should no way be missed: they offer incredible panoramic views over the Alazani Valley with the Caucasus Ridge reigning behind it.

Signagi is old city, which was surrounded by a wall for protection of city. The wall is still in good condition, so you can walk on it and enjoy beautiful view of the countryside.

It's amazing the wall still exists, as most cities have lost their walls long ago. There is a car that the walk gives the city. You get filled with excitement when you pass through the gate the first time. The wall always seems to be in the background as you explore the city. They are linked.
