One of the lesser-known fortresses of Georgia. Maybe because you have to walk almost a kilometer up the moiuntain to reach it. In my opinion, Ksani is one of the most beautiful ones with breathtaking scenic views. I was scared to scan it a year ago, but made this scan in 1.5 hours.
from wikipediaThe Ksani fortress (Georgian: ქსნის ციხე, romanized: ksnis tsikhe), also known as the Mtkvari fortress (მტკვრის ციხე, mt’k’vris tsikhe), is a fortress in eastern Georgia, strategically perched on a mount overlooking the confluence of the Ksani river with the Mtkvari (Kura) in the historical district of Mukhrani, now part of the Mtskheta Municipality. It was built by Bagrat I, Prince of Mukhrani, in 1512 and reconstructed by his descendant in 1746. The fortress is inscribed on the list of Georgia’s Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance.
