Shervashidze Tower in Sasireti: History,Architecture & Route
The village of Sasireti is home to a unique structure: the Shervashidze Family Tower. It was built in the 17th century using cobblestone.
The tower's interior is largely brickwork. The ground floor houses the entrance, which also features four niches and four narrow windows. On the south side, a staircase leads to the second floor.

The loopholes are large, arched windows. Many years ago, there was a fireplace in front of the tower entrance, but it no longer survives.
On the south side, there is a stone staircase leading to the third floor, which is partially destroyed.
All walls are covered with plaster. Incidentally, the interfloor ceilings are domed.
