Redoubt Kali

The military fort stands on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, positioned between the Tsiva and Khobistskali rivers at coordinates 42.27°N and 41.65°E.

British forces captured this Russian defensive structure during the Crimean War in 1854, marking a significant military engagement on the Black Sea coast.

The 1847 engraving of a commander's landing at the fort provides detailed documentation of military practices and uniforms from nineteenth-century Georgia.

The fort site, now known as Kulevi, sits near an oil terminal that operates as a strategic maritime facility on the Black Sea coast.

After serving as a military stronghold throughout the nineteenth century, authorities ordered the complete demolition of the fort structure in 1907.
