Kindgi Fortress, Medieval fortress in Abkhazia, Georgia.

Kindgi Fortress is a stone structure built on elevated terrain with towers and gates spread across the site. Multiple defensive sections connect through passages, and the layout lets visitors see across the landscape below.

The fortress was built in the early 1300s and served as a key defense point for different rulers. It remained important through the region's shifting conflicts and power changes over several centuries.

The walls show how builders used local stone and traditional Georgian methods to create strong defenses. You can see the craftsmanship in how stones fit together without modern tools.

The best time to visit is during spring or autumn when the weather is milder. Bring sturdy footwear since the uneven ground and climbing require solid shoes to navigate safely.

Several sections of the medieval walls remain in surprisingly good condition and show how they were built. From the highest points, you can look across the entire valley while walking through the structures.

Inception: 13 century
