Tsikhiskeli in Adjara: 11–13th Century Fortress in Khulo
The Tsikhiskeli Fortress, nestled among high mountains and wild forests, was built between the 11th and 13th centuries. This dilapidated fortress is located in the village of Khikhadziri in the Khulo Magistrates' District of Adjara, in the Skhalta River Valley. From a bird's eye view, you can see its labyrinthine walls.
The walls themselves are made of hewn stone, including red fired bricks. A rectangular hall-type room is laid in the center of the building. To the east of this room is an arched fortress with a protrusion to the east. The remains of the fortress are surrounded by the so-called "wall," or rather, its ruins. Overall, the fortress offers a magnificent view of the mountain and forests, attracting ever more visitors.

How to get to the fortress
Due to the mountain's inaccessibility, not everyone dares to admire its grandeur. However, we recommend caution for those who dare to venture here: physical fitness is essential. The fortress, perched on a cliff, presents a real challenge. There's a road 200 meters from the fortress. From there, the only way up is on foot. Keep in mind that the fortress is not a tourist attraction! We recommend visiting in late spring, summer, and early fall.
