Bronze Age monument in Georgia
The Abuli fortress is a prehistoric megalithic structure in the Akhalkalaki Municipality of Samtskhe–Javakheti, Georgia, located on the southern slope of Mount Patara Abuli in the Lesser Caucasus mountains, at an elevation of 2,670 metres above sea level. Constructed using large basalt blocks with dry-stone cyclopean masonry, the fortress consists of a central fortified "citadel" area measuring approximately 60 by 40 metres, surrounded by a complex of multi-level dwellings and hideouts forming a residential zone.
