- Reason
- Seems like a good example of Vainakh tower architecture, dating back to first century and medieval times in Chechnya and Ingushetia regions of Northern Caucasus. This photo is a military fortification in the medieval village of Erzi. According to the file description, these towers are around 95 feet (29 meters) high. I saw this on Commons FPC recently.
