The Tower Village 🏰

What happens

In Svaneti, high in Georgia's Caucasus Mountains, the village is full of 1,000-year-old stone towers. Cows wander down the street and block every pass, horses graze by the river, mountain goats balance on ledges and vultures glide over the snowy peaks.

Fun facts

• Families in Svaneti built the towers long ago to stay safe from avalanches and enemies.
• Some of Svaneti's towers are about 1,000 years old!
• Caucasian tur can climb cliffs that look impossible.
