Ujarma Fortress, Medieval fortress complex in Kakheti, Georgia

The fortress stands on elevated ground above the Iori River, featuring multiple defensive towers and a two-story residential building in its northeastern section.

King Aspacures I established the fortress foundation between the 3rd and 4th centuries, which later became a residence for King Vakhtang Gorgasali.

The fortress includes a two-story church named Jvarpatiosani, displaying architectural elements from different periods spanning the 10th and 11th centuries.

Visitors can reach the fortress via the Tbilisi-Telavi road, with the site positioned approximately 4 kilometers north of Ujarma village.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered glass bracelets, bronze rings, and ceramic items from the 12th and 13th centuries within the fortress grounds.
