Capture of Dmanisi

The Capture of Dmanisi occurred in 1123 during the Georgian–Seljuk wars, when forces of the Kingdom of Georgia under King David IV captured the fortified city of Dmanisi from a Seljuk garrison. The event formed part of a wider Georgian campaign to remove Seljuk influence from eastern and southern Georgia following the Georgian victories at the Battle of Didgori in 1121 and the recapture of Tbilisi in 1122.

The capture strengthened Georgian control over strategic trade routes in southern Kartli and consolidated the territorial expansion of the Georgian kingdom during the reign of David IV.
