Ananuri (Georgian: ანანური) is a castle complex on the Aragvi River in Dusheti Municipality Georgia, about 45 mi (72 km) from Tbilisi.
Ananuri was a castle and seat of the eristavis (Dukes) of Aragvi, a feudal dynasty which ruled the area from the 13th century.
The enemy finally captured a woman named Ana, who was from Nuri, and tortured her to reveal the location of the tunnel.
The upper fortification with a large square tower, known as Sheupovari, is well preserved and is the location of the last defense of the Aragvi against the Shanshe.
The interior is no longer decorated, but of interest is a stone baldaquin erected by the widow of the Duke Edishera, who died in 1674.
