Mutso Fortified Village
Clinging dramatically to a vertical granite ridge above the remote Andakistskali gorge in Pirikita Khevsureti, Mutso is an ancient fortress village known as the silent city of towers. Beset by historical plagues, tribal feuds, and grim mortuary crypts where infected villagers chose to die in isolation, Mutso remains one of Georgia's most isolated and ghostly mountain strongholds. This historic site remains one of the most compelling and atmospheric dark tourism destinations in Georgia.
