The fortress originally served as protection against Mongol invaders and later against Dagestani invaders. It was mostly used only in summer months when the raids were usual. In winter people lived in the village below the fortress. It has lost its purpose in 19th century after the Russians allied with local Tushs. It was abandoned and destroyed during World War II. In 2003 the reconstruction started and sponsored by a Dutch family. Many of the towers were built back from ruins, accomodating a museum of local tradition with many old photos from the region. Keselo is few tens of metres over the village Kvemo (=Upper) Omalo, which is a usual starting point for trek west to Shatili in Khevsureti region or day hikes to Shenako or Diklo villages to the east. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000034617/61df1f3e-8267-4f8d-89c6-76dbf6b02e74.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Omalo ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - Other - [Bakurtsikhe Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakurtsikhe-Hotels.d553248633935216466.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Gurjaani Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gurjaani-Hotels.d6361348.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Ilia Lake ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ilia-Lake-Hotels.0-l553248625246713169-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Kachreti Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kachreti-Hotels.d3000447814.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Kvareli Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kvareli-Hotels.d6352368.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lagodekhi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagodekhi-Hotels.d3000034627.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Sabue Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sabue-Hotels.d553248635975867370.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Shilda Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shilda-Hotels.d3000034610.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Sighnaghi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sighnaghi-Hotels.d6197580.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Telavi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Telavi-Hotels.d6205084.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Tsinandali Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsinandali-Hotels.d3000034606.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Kvareli ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Kvareli.d6352368.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Lagodekhi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Lagodekhi.d3000034627.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Sighnaghi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Sighnaghi.d6197580.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Visit Kachreti ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kachreti.dx3000447814) - [Visit Kvareli ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kvareli.dx6352368) - [Pirosmani Museum ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pirosmani-Museum-Sighnaghi.d553248622784702614.Attraction) - [Sighnaghi Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sighnaghi.d6197580.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Sighnaghi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sighnaghi.dx6197580) - [Telavi Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Telavi.d6205084.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Car hire Telavi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Telavi.d6205084.Car-Hire-Guide) - [Things to do in Lagodekhi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Lagodekhi.d3000034627.Travel-Guide-Activities) - [Things to do in Telavi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Telavi.d6205084.Travel-Guide-Activities) - [Things to do in Tsinandali ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Tsinandali.d3000034606.Travel-Guide-Activities) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
