Svaneti, the mythical western province of
Georgia is an amazing land on the southern
slopes of the Greater Caucasus, which is an
exceptional example of the combination of
mountain scenery with medieval-type
villages and defensive towers surrounded
by 3000-5000 meter mountain peaks. The
tower settlements and fortresses in Svaneti
are one of its most notable attractions.
Originating in the early middle ages, they
mirror the austere, natural ramparts of the
near impregnable terrain, erupting from
the rock and cliffs around them.
