Why visit
The Anatori crypts are a group of stone tombs on the road from Shatili to Mutso, dating from the eleventh to fifteenth centuries. Human remains and fragments of clothing can still be seen through the openings.
What to expect
Local legend says that when plague struck the village, people who felt death approaching walked to the crypts to wait, so the disease would not spread through Khevsureti. Visit quietly and do not disturb the remains.
