The Gonio fortress or the Gonio-Apsaros fortress is the oldest fortress of Georgia. It is an impressive piece of Roman-Byzantine military architecture, which covers 47,000 sq. m. within a rectangle of high stone walls with 18 towers (though it was said there were 22). Built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, it was occupied by the Byzantines in the 6th century and by the Ottomans in the 16th century.
