Tsoy-Peda, Medieval necropolis in Itum-Kalinsky District, Russia
The Tsoy-Peda cemetery contains 42 burial structures dating from the 13th to 15th centuries along the Argun River in Chechnya.
The cemetery holds numerous gravestones with intricate carvings and inscriptions that document funerary practices from medieval times in the North Caucasus region.
The cemetery includes stone markers known as 'kebze' that display regional burial customs and memorial traditions of the Chechen people through generations.
Visitors need to obtain special permits to access the site, as it is located in a military-controlled area near the Russia-Georgia border.
Local records indicate that during a severe epidemic, individuals would travel to this cemetery to await their final moments among the burial grounds.
