The Indurta tower stands in Akhmeta municipality above the abandoned village of Indurta, to the northeast, on a rocky mountainside. It belongs to the late Middle Ages. The tower has five stories and narrows toward the top. It is built of dry-laid slate. The monument is badly damaged: the roof and the floors between stories have collapsed, and much of the fifth-story walls is broken down. The first story (7 × 7 m) is entered from the west. In its south wall are two arched windows. In the east wall of the second story is an arched door, with one loophole north of the door; there are two similar loopholes each in the west and north walls, and two arched windows in the south wall. The third story has two arched windows in its south wall and two loopholes in each of the others. The fourth story has one arched window and one loophole in its south wall, with loopholes at various levels in the remaining walls. Of the fifth-story walls only a small part remains. Traces of machicolations survive on the south and east walls. By decree of the President of Georgia, in 2006 the tower was granted the status of an immovable cultural monument of national significance
