Culture
The Chinti Rock Towers (ჩინთის კლდის კოშკები) are listed in Dusheti Municipality as an 18th-century cultural heritage element. The surviving towers provide insight into medieval construction techniques, although their state of preservation varies. They form a defensive fortification built directly into the steep slate cliffs of the Aragvi Gorge. They stand above the right bank of the Aragvi where the valley narrows before opening out towards the Zhinvali Reservoir.
Another historic local landmark is the Chinti St. Nino Stone, which is associated with legends connected to St. Nino. Chinti also contains representative examples of the region’s stone-based residential architecture.
Geographical Setting
