The Shaori Fortress (Georgian: შაორის ციხე) is a Bronze Age megalithic structure in the Akhalkalaki municipality in the southern Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia. The Cyclopean fortress was built using dry-stone masonry. It has an unusual rhomboid plan with circular surfaces and is located on the rocky mountain of the same name at an altitude of 2,752 meters above sea level in the Lesser Caucasus, northwest of Lake Paravani. The fortress is on the list of immovable cultural monuments of national importance of Georgia.
