The Ksani fortress (Georgian: ქსნის ციხე, romanized: ksnis tsikhe), also known as the Mtkvari fortress (მტკვრის ციხე, mt'k'vris tsikhe), is a fortress in eastern Georgia, strategically perched on a mount overlooking the confluence of the Ksani river with the Mtkvari (Kura) in the historical district of Mukhrani, now part of the Mtskheta Municipality. It was built by Bagrat I, Prince of Mukhrani, in 1512 and reconstructed by his descendant in 1746. The fortress is inscribed on the list of Georgia's Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance.[1]
