Exploring a 12th Century Tower in Mestia, Georgia

The tower was once used as a home to a family, and in one part of the tower, the women give birth. This was an essential part of the culture as she repeated it, emphasized its importance, and showed me an old rocker and playpen.

She then pointed up, put her hands into a rifle, and said, “ Russians bad, protection¨. So I learned the guards lived at the bottom, and the top of the towers were watchtowers, where they defended off anyone who wanted to conquer their lands.

This area of Georgia is very mountainous and entrenched in the Caucasus mountains, and before roads, the villages remained cut off from outside contact, which has preserved the culture here better than anywhere else in Georgia.
