The specific location on a clearly visible area suggests that the main purpose of the construction was not to defend against enemies, but to establish trade relations between settlements, as the fortress is located just at the crossroads of Kvemo Kartli - one of the main trade routes of the time. Other buildings such as Birtvisi and Orbeti fortresses are clearly visible from the top of the fortress and if you climb to the highest point you can recognize the outlines of Kojori.

At present, the fortress is not completely preserved, it has crumbled in some places, and the plan of the most ancient buildings on the territory of Partskhisi cannot be guessed precisely even by experienced Georgian archaeologists.
