Of particular importance is a substantial complex of what once were religious buildings, dated to the 2nd–1st century BC, and inscribed on the list of the Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance.

[1] The Dedoplis Mindori plain is adjoined by a group of mounds, known as Aradetis Orgora, where archaeological finds span several periods of local culture sequence, from the Chalcolithic to the Early Middle Ages.

[2] Dedoplis Mindori is a gently sloping plain at the confluence of eastern and western Prone, tributaries of the Kura, occupying the area of approximately 25 km2, some 3 km west of the village of Aradeti, Kareli Municipality.

Digs at Aradetis Orgora are ongoing, as part of the Georgian–Italian Shida Kartli Archaeological Project, a collaboration of the Georgian National Museum and Ca' Foscari University of Venice launched in 2009.

This dating is supported by combined archaeological evidence from a palace complex at nearby Dedoplis Gora: pottery, imported bronze-ware from the Roman Empire, and the radiocarbon analysis of grain stores.

The buildings, oriented south–north, surround a central square courtyard, measuring 105 × 103 m. They had mudbrick walls, with cobblestone socles and, with the exception of the main temple, were roofed with terracotta tiles.
