Petra fortress was located on the rocky hillside of the sea, beside the wall it is guarded by a rocky terrain (Greek name "Petra" means rock). Petra was considered as an inaccessible fortress, its ruins are still preserved. The archaeological complex includes the Citadel, outside of town and settlement. The ruins of the palace, antique baths, farmhouses and soldiers' residences, as well as the basilica of the VI-VII century, which is the remains of the Episcopal Cathedral of Peter, remain in the citadel. Petra has attracted the attention of researchers for so long. Since the 30s of XIX (Swiss archaeologist Frederick Dubois de Montpere), the history of this fortress-town has been the subject of discussion until today. Some excavations were carried out here, first was in 1934 by S. Janashia and the other in 1953 by N. Khoshtaria. The rich tomb was discovered here in 1908(a large crystal within a golden frame is discovered here and it is kept in Hermitage). According to N. Khoshtaria, excavations found out that Petra Castle was Eristavi's residence in the first centuries of A.D.
