Anig Castle, which belongs to the Middle Ages, was built at an altitude of 1100 m above sea level, on the right bank of Gusarchay, in a strategically important area. The Anig fortress, which controlled the Salavat mountain pass, was located in the south of the present Anig village. In the construction of the fortress, all the possibilities of the terrain were successfully used, artificial fortifications were also installed. The defensive walls were built of river stones. Only two parts of the walls remain: the length of the first part is 15-16 meters. The second part is the corner tower of the castle gate. The height of the remains is from 5.8 to 9.3 meters. Fragments of glazed pottery dating back to the 9th-13th centuries were found on the territory of the castle. Based on the information of the Georgian chronographer, it is assumed that the Anig fortress, which existed since the 9th century, was destroyed in 1288.
