Vladikavkaz Fortress, Military fortress in Vladikavkaz, Russia.
The stone fortress stands at the entrance of Darial Gorge, featuring three semi-bastions and two five-sided bastions along its perimeter walls.
Catherine the Great ordered the construction of this fortress in 1784 to guard the strategic route connecting Georgia with the Russian Empire.
The fortress complex includes an Orthodox church, built under Catherine the Great's directive to maintain religious tolerance toward indigenous populations.
The fortress location serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the Georgian Military Road, which stretches through the Caucasus Mountains.
The name Vladikavkaz translates to 'I own the Caucasus,' reflecting the Russian Empire's territorial expansion into the Caucasus region.
