The Battle of Digomi (Georgian: დიღმის ბრძოლა) was part of a campaign launched by the Georgian king Simon I of Kartli aimed at the liberation of the capital Tbilisi from the Persians in 1567.
[3] King Simon's troops encamped at Digomi plain [ka][4] near Tbilisi and began preparations for a siege.
The city was defended by Daut Khan, a Georgian ruler appointed by the Safavid Shah Tahmasp I. Daut Khan attempted to make a sortie with his Persian force, but was routed by Simon's cavalry and found shelter within the walls of Tbilisi Fortress.
The Kartlian troops invested the fortress, but could not take it and the campaign ended unsuccessfully.
