'''Battle of Digomi''' was a part of a campaign launched by the [[Georgia (country)|Georgian]] king [[Simon I of Kartli]] aimed at liberation of the capital [[Tbilisi]] from the [[Persians]] in [[1567]]. ▼
▲The '''Battle of Digomi'''
King Simon’s troops encamped at [[Digomi]] valley near [[Tbilisi]] and began preparations for a siege. The city was defended by [[Daut Khan]], a [[Georgian]] ruler appointed by the [[Persian]] [[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 [[Kartli]]an troops invested the fortress, but could not take it and the campaign ended unsuccessfully. ▼
