Watch they neighbour (and the one beyond even more )
These rather shaky tower structures are found in many parts of the Caucasus, guarding valleys and strategic points as well as rising in bunches in the midst of villages - as if each person didn't trust his neighbour to sound the alarm when emergencies arose. Most of the structures were built in the XIII Century onwards. It is not advised to seek to climb one.
