Why go

Mestia's Svan towers are striking from the street, but Margiani House Museum helps make sense of what they belonged to. Georgia Travel describes the surviving Margiani towers alongside a domestic complex with storage spaces and a room arranged around the household elder's place.

Give the visit time to notice how living, storing food and seeking safety fitted together. The house tells a more particular story than the town skyline alone, so it is worth going inside rather than only photographing the towers from the street.
