Castillos y fortalezas en Kajetia

Castles and Forts of Georgia

Kakheti’s landscape is defined by medieval fortifications that once guarded Georgia’s eastern frontier. This collection highlights the 16th-century Gremi complex, the royal residence of Kakhetian kings, and the remote Keselo towers of Tusheti. Key sites include the 10th-century Kvetera church-fortress and Khornabuji, a "city-castle" integrated into limestone cliffs. These structures represent centuries of defensive architecture, from early Christian archaeological sites like Nekresi to the 18th-century city walls of Sighnaghi.
