Ancient Towers On The Caucasus Mountains

From Zugdidi - a town in the northwestern part of Georgia, we hurried to get on the car to reach the world cultural heritage Svaneti 140km away. There is only one bus to Svaneti a day, so everyone must hurry. The road is not long but very dangerous, not all drivers dare to go. Perhaps that is why, for the past thousand years, Svaneti has always been considered impregnable by the Georgians. Ancient towers on the Caucasu Range Georgia is only more than half of Vietnam but the terrain is quite diverse

. Our journey passed through Central Asian semi-deserts, lowland swamps, temperate rainforests and now to the magnificent Caucasus Mountains. Spectacular passes, car stops in Mestia, central Svaneti. The town, or rather, this village has an airport that serves 15-seater planes flying from the capital, but I think it takes a ride to feel the wildness of the surrounded land by the high mountain peaks between 3,000 and 5,000 meters.



The landscape on the Caucasus Mountains The picturesque mountain town of Mestia. Just step foot off the main road, turn into a few small alley, we easily feel like walking straight from the modern era to the Middle Ages with the stone towers of the Svan people standing in the sky. Inside the lovely garden houses, midday sunlight slanted through the trees, dropped down the rope of laundry, the smell of freshly cooked cider in the breeze, outside the flower garden just blooming and the chickens were continous. Mestia is a new attractive destination for Europeans when it has just opened to welcome tourists. The complex of more than two hundred remaining watchtowers in Svaneti has long been recognized as a world cultural heritage. Surrounded by gigantic snow-capped peaks remains isolated, almost unknown. For military purposes, the Svan ethnic group built watchtowers and solid stone houses Built from the ninth to the thirteenth centuries, the towers at Svaneti are all tall from 20 to 25 meters with 4-5 floors.



The thickness of the walls gradually decreases when rising, giving the tower an elegant but solid shape. The towers are also used for housing, with the ground floor having a single room with a fireplace that houses both people and pets in winter. In the summer they stay on the upper floors and the ground floor becomes an animal feed store or manufacture tools. Each tower has only one door that connects to the security corridors. The size of the more than 200 towers here are not the same and there are no certain standards. The large tower means its owner has a great position and riches. The ancient towers of a thousand years old in Svaneti In addition to the hundreds of towers and unique houses that, the upper Svaneti also has two castles. The locations of the two castles were also different, one was built below the village, the other was built at a higher position.



The castle was built in the village with a small church called Lashkdash, in addition to the village there is another church called the Matskhvar. The churches on the upper Svaneti are generally very small but contain many spiritual values. , special religion and arts. The churches no matter how small also owns unique murals, these paintings can be paintings on the wall and can be carved deep into the wall. See new paintings in the secluded highlands for thousands of years, there has been a colorful life, many ups and downs and no less poetic. Depression of the ancient capital Mtskheta Leaving the Caucasus mountains back to the capital Tbilisi, they I have only two things left to do, that is to enjoy the dishes that make Georgia famous throughout the Black Sea and visit the ancient capital Mtskheta. Hearing many compliments of Georgia's delicious and beautiful cuisine, many people are still amazed. In front of the khachapuri adjarulu loaf looks like a lovely thin pot with a round egg yolk in the middle.



Then each string of churchkhela with colorful colors adorned the confectionery stall which was so brilliant, this dish I thought was sausage, it turned out that not, churchkhela was a string of walnuts, peanuts covered with juice Georgian fruit is rich in abundance, so this homemade confection is also wonderfully appealing. Many women in the group do not like sweet, but still buy a large package of tklapi candy. This candy looks like a collection of silk towels with red, orange, yellow, purple tones, but in fact this is a concentrated fruit essence that is thinned like paper and then dried. From walnuts, peanuts covered with acacia juice, Georgians are very difficult in food processing, so churchkhela or tklapi are chemical-free but still beautiful and delicious. Over thousands of years of handmade confectionery processing techniques have secrets that never fall out. Wine and fruit making techniques are also "national assets". Georgia is one of the first winemaking regions in the world. People drink and.
