სნო
A mountain village south of Kazbegi, with medieval towers and a group of giant stone heads of poets carved by sculptor Merab Pirosmanashvili.
Sno Village lies about 5 km south of Stepantsminda, up the Sno River valley. The village preserves medieval defensive towers and the former residence of Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II. On the hillsides outside the village, sculptor Merab Pirosmanashvili carved dozens of giant stone heads of Georgian poets and writers, scattered across the grass in a striking sight. Entry is free. You can continue along the dirt road towards Juta. By car or taxi, the trip costs about 20 lari.
