The fortress was established in the 4th century, around the period when the city itself was founded. It was then known as Shuris-tsikhe (Invidious Fort).

It was expanded considerably by the Arabs during the 7th and 8th centuries. The Arabs built the Emir’s palace within its walls. King David further extended the Builder the fortress in th 11th century. Most of the existing fortifications date from the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1827 it was damaged by an earthquake and was not resorted. St. Nikolos church, inside the fortress walls, dates from the 12th century. It was renovated in 1996.

See the Anchiskhati Basilica which is located in the historical district. The church dates back to the 6th century, it was bearing the name of the Virgin Mary’s birth and it is the oldest surviving church in Tbilisi. The name Anchiskhati was given to it a little bit later when Peter Meskhi moved the image of Christ not made by hand from the Anchi church to this one in 1675. The Anhciskhati was lots of times damaged during the raids of the Iranians in the 15th-17th centuries. The church was renovated in the 17th century by the Catholicon Domenici. After the Soviet regime establishment in Georgia, the liturgical ceremonies in Anchiskhati church were halted.
