Башня Мамсуровых, Medieval tower in Dargavs, Russia
The Mamsurov Tower stands 16 meters tall with thick stone walls and multiple defensive levels built into the mountainous terrain of North Ossetia.
The Mamsurov family constructed this defensive tower in the 17th century as part of their ancestral settlement in the Dargavs valley.
The tower represents traditional Ossetian architecture and demonstrates the social status of the Mamsurov clan, who produced notable military and political figures.
The tower opens to visitors throughout the year, with guided tours available that explain the defensive features and historical significance of the structure.
The structure contains architectural elements specific to mountain fortifications, including observation points and strategic narrow windows for defense purposes.
