Lata Palace (Georgian: ლათის სასახლე) is a palace in the village of Lata, Gulripshi municipality, Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, Georgia.
History
The palace was built in the middle ages. The construction was built with the stone and brick blocks. The entrance doors are located in the eastern and northern walls. The palace consists of seven sections that are connected to each other with the doors. All sections have large windows. The seventh section is currently most well preserved. It is built with stone blocks and has a stone roofing too. Apparently, this section was a water reservoir. The palace had a stone floor, which is currently more or less preserved. The roofing is already crumbled. The walls are 6 meters high and 1 meter thick.

- The political status of Abkhazia is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
