Margiani House Museum

What does Margiani House Museum offer to visitors?

Margiani House Museum is one of the most popular and interesting sights of Mestia, so don't miss a chance to pay a visit to this remarkable sight.

The powerful Margiani family originally owned eight towers, but only four survived.

You can still see a basement and a cellar, where they kept vodka jugs, wine, and clay pots full of honey. The food was stored in the cellar in the fall so a large family could survive the harsh Svaneti winters. Wheat and other dry foods were stored in boxes in the tower’s pantry.

The living room had a special chair for the elder of the family, Makhvshi. The head of the family or honored guests were the only ones who could sit on this chair.
