Manavi fortress, Medieval fortress in Sagarejo Municipality, Georgia.
Manavi Fortress stands on a hilltop, featuring walls constructed from field stone and red bricks, with four defensive towers guarding its perimeter.
King David II of Kakheti selected this fortress as his residence in the early 18th century, building a palace within its fortified walls.
Three religious structures within the complex, including the St. Virgin Mary Nativity Temple, reflect the architectural traditions of medieval Georgian design.
The fortress sits 62 kilometers from Tbilisi, requiring a one-hour drive, with the St. Virgin Mary Nativity Temple open daily from 09:00 to 18:00.
The fortress contains multiple water reservoirs, essential structures that enabled inhabitants to maintain water supplies during extended periods of isolation.
