Vladikavkaz, Regional capital in North Ossetia-Alania, Russia

The city stretches along the banks of the Terek River at an elevation of 692 meters, surrounded by the North Caucasus mountains.

Russian military engineers established Vladikavkaz as a fortress in 1784 to secure communication routes between Russia and the territories beyond the Caucasus Mountains.

The population includes Ossetians, Russians, and Armenians, with the Ossetian language belonging to the Iranian language family and maintaining strong cultural connections.

The Georgian Military Highway connects Vladikavkaz to Tbilisi through mountain passes, while the main railway station links the city to major Russian destinations.

The Mukhtarov Mosque, constructed in 1906, displays Persian architectural elements and incorporates Egyptian-style decorative patterns in its stone structure.
