Ushguli (Georgian: უშგული [ˈuʒguli]) is a community of five medieval villages located at the head of the Enguri gorge in Svaneti, Georgia.[2] Ushguli is one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe.[3][4][5] Compared to somewhat more developed towns like Mestia, Ushguli is not in an accessible location, which has preserved many of the villages' medieval characteristics, including unique defensive tower houses called Svan towers.[6][7] Because of their preservation and traditional architecture, Ushguli, Mestia, and the surrounding area was recognized as the Upper Svaneti UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[7]
