Diana Australis' photos with the keyword: tower

Ushguli, in Northern Georgia close to the Russian border at 2,300 m in the high Caucasus Mountains. The tower is one of dozens of Svan mediaeval defence towers in the village. These defended against attackers and invaders. It is, and was even more so, a very remote area. There were marauding bands of thieves, family feuds, and bandits, as well as civil wars up to the early 2000s Have a wonderful weekend...best wishes and thanks for visiting. Really appreciated.
