Kurta is situated nine kilometers north-east of
Ossetian Dmitry Sanakoyev. The Georgian government also allocated 1,850,000 lari to rehabilitation of the village's infrastructure.[1]
Kurta and its environs are part of the Greater Liakhvi Valley Museum-Reserve. The village itself houses a
St. George.[2]
On the eve of the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, all the Georgian inhabitants were evacuated to un-occupied Georgian territory and most of their abandoned homes were destroyed later. The homes were not rebuilt and the population did not return, leaving the largely destroyed village a ghost town.
