26.06.2024

The Potara Gala Residential Tower is located in the Jeirakh district.

On the north-eastern outskirts of the Ozdice complex (right bank of the Guloikha River), on the mountain slope, there is a dilapidated isolated tower manor of the late Middle Ages, which is called by local residents as "Potara-Gala" (Residential Tower of Potara).

The estate consists of a once four-storey large residential tower with a rectangular base and a parapet, to which 3 outbuildings and a rather long stone defensive wall adjoined, forming the yard of the estate. In the residential tower, a central stone support pillar of inter-storey floors has been preserved. There's a crypt in the manor. From the estate and from the Ozdity complex located above it, a gorge to the north of Vonushki was visible, in which the complexes Gyant, Galu and the Towers of two wives were located.

The Potara-Gala Residential Tower is part of the Dzhirakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is an identified object of cultural heritage protected by the state.
