Svaneti, Mountain region in northwestern Georgia.
Svaneti extends along the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, containing four of the ten highest peaks in the mountain range.
The region maintained independence until 1833 when Russian forces established control, marking the end of its autonomous feudal system.
The medieval stone towers of Svaneti, built between the 9th and 13th centuries, represent the defensive architecture of highland Georgian communities.
The administrative center Mestia provides access to skiing facilities at Hatsvali and Tetnuldi resorts throughout the winter season.
The Svan people maintain their unwritten language alongside Georgian and preserve ancient traditions of polyphonic singing.
