In southern part of Georgia in a city with the unusual name of Akhalkalaki, we suddenly saw the ruins of an ancient fortress.
This is the name of the Akhalkalaki fortress. I suggest you look at an overview of the city of Akhalkalaki and the ancient fortress, from which only a small part remained to this day.
Akhalkalaki (in Georgian - ახალქალაქი, ახალი ქალაქი - “new city”, in Armenian Ախալքալաք Akhalkalaki - a city in Georgia, Samtskhe-Javakheti region, located in the south of the country, 30 km from the border with Turkey. About 95% of the population are Armenians. There is a train station.
The first information about the settlement on the site of Akhalkalaki dates back to 1064. During these years, he was the center of the political life of the Javakheti region. Akhalkalaki was completely destroyed in the 15th century and rebuilt in the next two centuries. In the XVI century, the city was conquered by the Ottoman Turks. In 1828, the troops of General Paskevich occupied Akhalkalaki and the next year the city was annexed to Russia. According to the Georgian Soviet Encyclopedia, Muslim Georgians living in this territory were exiled to the inner regions of Turkey, and instead, Armenians from the Arzrum region settled on the territory of the city. The devastating earthquake in 1900 caused great damage to historical buildings and claimed the lives of about a thousand residents of Akhalkalak and its environs.
