I think it's better if you also give some information about the time of building.

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, completed in 4th century AD by king Mirian III. Architect Arsukidze.

Khertvisi fortress is one of the oldest fortresses in Georgia and was functional throughout the Georgian feudal period. It is situated in Southern Georgia, in Meskheti region. The fortress was first build in the 2nd century BC. The church was built in 985, and the present walls build in 1354. As the legend says, Khertvisi was destroyed by Alexander the Great.
