World Heritage
Georgia
🎧 Listen to Introduction
Long isolated from the outside world, the Upper Svaneti region of the Caucasus is a well-preserved example of a mountainous landscape with medieval-style villages and tower houses. More than 200 of these highly unusual houses still remain in the village of Chazash, which served both as residences and as sentinels for defense against invaders that plagued the area.
