Okros Tsikhe (Georgian: ოქროს ციხე, literally, "the golden fortress") is a medieval fortress in the Adigeni Municipality, in Georgia's southern region of Samtskhe-Javakheti, north of the village of Shoqa. It is located in the historical Kvabliani valley, on an inaccessible rocky mount. The fortress featured prominently in the Georgian–Ottoman encounters of the 16th century and was also known by the Turkish equivalent of its name, Altunkal'a. In 2007, Okros Tsikhe was inscribed on the list of Georgia's Immovable Cultural Monuments of National Significance.[1]
