Abuli Fortress is one of the most mysterious ancient structures in Georgia. Built on the slope of an extinct volcano, it stands over 2,500 meters above sea level. Its walls are made of massive basalt blocks fitted without mortar — as if raised by giants. Archaeologists still don’t know who built Abuli, and no excavations have ever been carried out here. The fortress is believed to be part of a mysterious network of “Cyclopean” strongholds dating back to the Bronze Age. The wind, silence, and harsh landscape give the place an aura of ancient power and mystery. From the top, you can see for miles — it feels as if time itself has stopped here.
