The city of Sighnaghi is one of the most beautiful cities in Georgia, whose charm is due to its architectural appearance over time, as well as its natural location: the city is located on a high hill and overlooks the expansive area of ​​the Alazani Valley and the Caucasus Mountains. Sighnaghi is located on the northern slope of the Tsivgombori ridge, at an altitude of 750 m above sea level. The city covers an area of ​​296.5 hectares.

Cultivation of the city on an elevated site was convenient for defensive purposes. Gates were arranged in the city wall for the rapid evacuation of the population of the surrounding villages.
Sighnaghi, like Telavi, was considered a royal estate. It is also noteworthy that there was no dictatorship at all in Kiziki. Consequently, Kiziki was a sovereign country and was directly subordinate to the king. The civilian government here was run by Mouravi; According to military regulations, Kiziki was the first advanced flag to be flown by the Bishop of Bodbe.

Sighnaghi was established mainly as a city of craftsmen and merchants due to its location. There were several trade routes here. The old caravan route ran from Tbilisi via Nukriani to Hereti and from Sighnaghi via Anagi to Telavi.

Currently, Sighnaghi is one of the most important tourist destinations in Georgia
