Khikhani fortress, (Abuseridzes family fortress) - Medieval fortress in Adjara, in the upper village Tkhilvana of Khulo municipality, on the top of a steep rocky cliff. The fort includes different buildings: the wall, towers, churches and remains of various buildings.
Khikhani fortress is one of the most important fortresses in Adjara. It was built in a strategic location and also one of the shelters of Georgian nobles. When the enemy was attacking the fortifications of Tbilisi and Gori, they were escaping this side. The archduke Tbel built St. George church by the order of his brothers Abuseri and Vardan, in the late 30s of the 13th century. Khikhani fortress and Tamar Queen are connected with many legends. Sometimes Khikhani fortress is also called Tamar Castle. Adjara Cultural Heritage Protection Agency has been implementing rehabilitation of the fortress since 2012.
