Enguri Hydropower Dam was built-in 60-70 years of the 20th century and represents one of the most fascinating examples of civil engineering achievements in Georgia. The objects that comprise the structure of Enguri HPP cover almost one thousand square kilometers from the city Jvari to the Black Sea.

It includes a cascade of hydroelectric stations, including Enguri Arch Dam and about 400 tunnels and channels, the longest of which is about 15 kilometers. Constructed in the narrow canyon of the Enguri River in the town Jvari, with the breathtaking scenery of North-West Georgia, the Arch Dam of Enguri HPP has been in operational use since 1978. Having 271.5 meters of height, Enguri is one of the highest-arched dams in the world.

Taking into consideration the cultural values of the site, in 2015, the Enguri Arched Dam was granted the industrial heritage status of national value.
