  • Description

The Drisi Javakhaant-tsikhe fortress, also known as Tamaris-tsikhe, is a historical fortress located on top of a cliff on the left bank of the Tedzami River, 400 meters west of the village of Chkopiani in the municipality of Kaspi, Georgia. This architectural complex includes a castle, a fortress wall, the Church of St. George, a tower and a palace. Built by the Georgian feudal lords Torels, the fortress later came into the possession of the Javakhishvili clan, which is why it received the name Javakhan Drissa Castle.

In historical documents the structure is also referred to as Quenadrisi Castle, due to its proximity to the former village of Quenadrisi. In the 17th century, the territory belonged to representatives of the Javakhishvili family, who in 1624 entered into an agreement with Giorgi Saakadze. The fortress is interesting as an example of Georgian medieval architecture and a witness to the cultural history of the region.

A visit to the Drisi Javakhaant-tsikhe fortress will be interesting for lovers of history, architecture and picturesque landscapes. For those traveling by car, it is important to carefully follow the navigation instructions on Google maps so as not to miss the turn to "Kaprashyan" and "Chakopiani". Be aware of road conditions: the descent to the river can be difficult for vehicles with low ground clearance.

    Amazing fortress! It's truly one of the top ten in Georgia. However, it's best suited for visitors ready for some climbing, so it might not be the best for young kids or those who prefer easier access.

    Очень атмосферное место, не избалованное туристами. Это один из самых впечатляющих замков, хотя он и зарос травой и деревьями.

    ციხე ძალიან შთამბეჭდავია, მაგრამ მის შიგნით შესვლა სახიფათოა. კიბეები არ არის და ეს პრობლემა უნდა მოგვარდეს.

    What a discovery! I really didn’t expect to see this fortress out in the middle of nowhere. Getting there is quite a challenge and you’ll definitely need a 4x4 vehicle. The trail to the top is hard to locate, and you'll have to do some rock climbing to get inside.

    Волшебное место, куда стоит добраться на машине с высоким клиренсом и полным приводом. Обувь нужна трекинговая, а с палками будет еще удобнее. Оставив машину, придется пройти примерно 300 метров в гору. Войти в замок можно, но только на свой страх и риск — камни здесь могут обрушиться.

    მინიშნებებს მიჰყევით. მანქანით ასვლა ცოტა რთული იქნება. მდინარეზე მოგიწევთ გადასვლა. ფეხით გასავლელი ბილიკები გამოიყენეთ.

    ძალიან ლამაზი ადგილი გამოქვაბულებით. ერთი დიდი ზომისაა.

    შესანიშნავი ციხესიმაგრე, ქვეშ კი ძალიან ბევრი გამოქვაბულია.
