Fortress
4/5
Khertvisi Fortress
Perched dramatically upon a rocky cliff where the Paravani and Mtkvari rivers converge in southern Georgia, Khertvisi Fortress is one of the oldest and most strategically vital fortifications in the nation's history. Legend connects its ancient foundations to the campaigns of Alexander the Great, while its medieval walls bear witness to centuries of brutal sieges, Turkish invasions, and haunting local myths. This historic site remains one of the most compelling and atmospheric dark tourism destinations in Georgia.
