[1] The towers, which gave the impression of strength and stability through their appearance, are the reflection of the harsh life of the society that created them.

Unfortunately, during the 20th century, the tower and the adjacent house were inhabited, which led to the distortion of the architectural features and the destruction of some parts.

The socio-political conditions inherent in the Jar-Balakan jamaats with frequent military clashes should have influenced the creation of a peculiar architecture, particularly, the development of various types of defensive structures.

[2] Here, as well as in other adjacent territories of the Caucasus, one can find combinations of residential buildings with combat towers, edifices of a castle and fortress type, and so on.

[2] The decomposition of the jamaat system and with the beginning of the top of the community feudalization, emphasizing the privileged families, caused the construction of a new type fortified structures; at first, these were probably separate towers around which powerful fortress walls were then raised.

Nowadays these towers (even in a dilapidated form), unexpectedly growing in the dense greenery of the forests, remind of the times when the wars and the armed clashes were a daily occurrence in the life of the Jar-Balakans.

[5] People working in the field, in the garden, being in the pastures were on the alert to always have time to lock themselves in the tower and be ready to repel the enemy.

Unfortunately, during the 20th century, the tower and the adjacent house were inhabited, and this led to the distortion of the architectural features and the destruction of some parts.

[6] Judging by the survived old photograph, the tower was originally five-story and was square on its plan with the external dimensions equal to an average of 5.70 x 5.60.

Strongly expanding inside the tower, they come out on the facade in the form of very narrow low cracks, barely noticeable against the background of the unevenness of the rough masonry, and even then only from a short distance.
