The Girevi tower stands in Tusheti, 0.5 kilometers west of the abandoned village of Girevi, on a rock. It belongs to the late Middle Ages. It has five stories (4.2 × 3.9 m, height 18.3 m), narrows toward the top, and is built of dry-laid slate. The tower's first and top stories are covered with a keyed vault, while the others had flat roofs resting on wooden beams. The entrance is in the south wall of the first story, 2.1 meters above the ground, the door spanned by a flat arch. Each of the story's other walls holds a loophole. Below the first story is a low blind-walled chamber. The first story connects with the second through a rectangular opening in the vault. The second story has a window in its south wall and a loophole in each of the others; the third and fourth stories repeat the second. On each side of the fifth story is a rectangular machicolation resting on stone consoles, above which continues a pointed-arched lookout window ("samziri").
