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.
