The surviving towers provide insight into medieval construction techniques, although their state of preservation varies. The complex is a fortification built directly into the steep slate cliffs of the Aragvi Gorge. The towers stand above the right bank of the Aragvi, where the valley narrows before opening up toward the Zhinvali Reservoir.
