A night I won't forget — in Mestia, capital of Svaneti, the Svans honor their ancestors by lighting fires near cemeteries and churches and keeping watch until morning. The medieval Svan towers stand witness, as they have for centuries. A living tradition in one of the oldest mountain cultures of the Caucasus, recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity's shared heritage.\n\n#Travel #Photography #Georgia #Caucasus #Svaneti #UNESCO #CulturalHeritage
