Batonis Tsikhe (the Lord's Fortress) is one of the most important monuments of Georgian secular architecture of the late feudal era, in the town of Telavi — the residence of the kings of Kakheti in the 17th–18th centuries. The complex includes the fortress wall with two gates, the royal palace built in the 1660s, two court churches, a bathhouse and a tunnel. Within the walls stood government buildings, the princes' palace and a seminary (its remains survive). In the second half of the 19th century the damaged complex was repaired and new buildings added (a theological school, the so-called "treasury", a jail, a bell tower and others).
