The Sukhumi fortress (in Georgian: სოხუმის ციხე; in Russian: Сухумская крепость), also known in its time as Sebastopolis (in Greek: Σεβαστούπολις), was a defensive structure built in the 2nd century AD on the Caucasian coast of the Black Sea, located today in Sukhumi (de jure part of Georgia although de facto part of the self-proclaimed Republic of Abkhazia).
