Vovnushki is one of the most famous places in Ingushetia. Their image appeared on the Russian Post stamp "Republic of Ingushetia" in the "Regions" series, and in 2010, the Bank of Russia issued a commemorative coin featuring them. It is located in the Djeyrah-Assinsky State Historical, Architectural, and Natural Museum-Reserve. This is probably the most beautiful area of this small Caucasian republic of our country. The tower complex consists of three family towers located on two high rocks, two towers on one side, and two on the other. These towers belong to the Ozdoev family, who still take care of them, although the towers are no longer inhabited. According to a poster located there, descendants currently live in Nesterovskaya and Ordzhonikidzevskaya (Sundja). In fact, all towers in Ingushetia are family-owned and belong to a specific clan (teip) to this day. To enter the reserve, Russian citizens need a civil passport, as it is a border area, and no other permits are required in advance. To get to Vovnushki and the surrounding areas, a small fee is to be paid on-site when leaving the paved road. The Oldest Christian Temple in Ingushetia - Tkhaba-Erdy This small church (17x7.5 meters) in the Targim valley, the heart of mountainous Ingushetia, is one of the oldest in Russia. However, the exact date of its creation is not known. According to one version, it was built in the 8th-9th centuries. The architecture of Tkhaba-Erdy contains elements of both Armenian and Georgian cultures. However, this does not necessarily mean that the church was built by these peoples but rather that it was reconstructed by them. Historians note that the turn of the 10th-11th centuries was a period of active missionary work by the Georgian Catholicos-Patriarch, during whose time an older church (or even a mosque) could have simply been rebuilt. The current Tkhaba-Erdy was constructed in the 16th-17th centuries from its ruins. If you look closely at the stones from which it is made, you can easily see that all architectural elements were assembled without any specific order.
