Castillo de Chailuri

El Castillo de Chailuri, también conocido como Fortaleza de Niakhura, data del siglo XVI y desde entonces ha sido restaurado a su antiguo esplendor. Situado en una pequeña colina, el castillo presenta un diseño pentagonal alargado adornado con cuatro torres en cada esquina, diseñado para proteger la región. Tiene un gran significado en los anales de la historia georgiana como el sitio de la última guerra librada durante la independencia de Georgia en 1801. Párate en los mismos alrededores que fueron testigos de esta histórica batalla, marcando un capítulo conmovedor en el pasado de la nación. Se pueden encontrar vestigios de un edificio cuadrado dentro del patio de la prisión, mientras que troneras rodean la fortaleza. Con sus torres defensivas, almenas, troneras y merlones, el Castillo de Chailuri muestra la destreza arquitectónica militar de su época, y su propio nombre resuena en toda Georgia: 'beber el agua de Chailuri' es una causa perdida, reflejando las batallas perdidas en el sitio.

About

Chailuri Castle, also known as Niakhura Fortress, dates back to the 16th century and has since been restored to its former grandeur. Situated on a small hill, the castle features an elongated pentagonal layout adorned with four towers at each corner, designed to safeguard the region. It holds great significance in the annals of Georgian history as the site of the last war fought during Georgia’s independence in 1801. Stand in the very surroundings that witnessed this historic battle, marking a poignant chapter in the nation’s past. Traces of a square building can be found within the prison yard, while gun ports encompass the fortress. With its defensive towers, battlements, gun ports, and merlons, Chailuri Castle showcases the military architectural prowess of its time, and its very name has resonance throughout Georgia—to “drink the water of Chailuri” is to be a lost cause, reflecting the battles lost at the site.
