The Rabati Castle is found in the center of Akhaltsikhe and overlooks nearly every corner of the town for centuries. Founded in the 9th century when it was initially known as Lomsia (which means “lion”), the fortress exhibits a unique blend of Christian and Islamic composition. Tamerlane and his army swept through Akhaltsikhe in the 14th century, though the fortress did not meet its end. The fortress was also at the forefront of attacks by Persian forces and an 18th century Russo-Turkish war.
Around 2010, the Rabati Castle was widely reconstructed to its former brilliance. This castle, together with the nearby fortress of Khertvisi and the Vardzia Caves, makes for one of Georgia’s best areas to explore its medieval history.
