The Amilakhvari castle (Georgian: ამილახვართა ციხე-დარბაზები) is an architectural monument located at the village of Kvemo Chala, in Kaspi, Georgia. The monument is a large complex, built in the 17th–18th century, which originally contained three castles and various buildings in each of them, and belonged to a Georgian noble family of Amilakhvari. The complex suffered considerable destruction during the centuries, and currently only the main castle and the fragments of the other two remain.

Georgia has inscribed the castle on its registry of Cultural Monuments of National Significance.[1]
