Tower houses from Middle Ages, Tusheti (Georgia).
Tower houses are scattered throughout numerous mountainous regions of Caucasus region. These are buildings of 4-5 floors, which were built for defensive purposes.
Entrance to tower was on second floor and could only be accessed by a removable staircase. In event of an attack, inhabitants took refuge there and, having removed the stairs, could resist for a long time.
