The Bochorma fortress (Georgian: ბოჭორმის ციხე, romanized: boch'ormis tsikhe) is a medieval architectural complex in eastern Georgia, located in the Tianeti Municipality in the region of Mtskheta-Mtianeti. Historically it was part of principality of Kakheti. Situated on a high mount on the Iori River, the complex consists of a castle and a domed dodecagonal church, both dated to the 10th century, as well as another small hall church, and some other accessory structures. All structures within the complex are half-ruined or significantly damaged.[1] They are all inscribed on the list of the Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance.[2]
