Башня Мамсуровых

The Mamsurov Tower is a stone defensive structure built into the terrain of Dargavs valley and rises about 16 meters high. The walls are thick and rough, with multiple interior levels designed to protect the family's holdings from threats.

The Mamsurov family built this tower in the 17th century as part of their estate in Dargavs valley. The structure forms part of a longer settlement history where several such towers were erected by influential families.

The tower shows how wealthy mountain families lived and displayed their power through solid stone construction. Visitors can see the cramped rooms and low ceilings that shaped daily life in these highland fortifications.

The structure is open to visitors year-round, with guided tours available to explain the defensive features. Wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for narrow stairways and low doorways typical of these old structures.

The Mamsurovs were known as influential military and political figures in the region, and their tower was a mark of this status. The structure displays special architectural features for mountain fortifications, such as observation points and strategically placed narrow windows for defense.
