About the project (provided by the applicant)
Harpe Towers built in the Middle Ages stand in a hard-to-reach gorge, in the mountainous area of Ingushetia. In the early 19th century, it was partially destroyed by Imperial Troops, which came to conquer the Caucasus. In 1944, their destruction went on when the Ingush were deported from this region. The remaining buildings are a turret and six residential towers, plus 4 crypts with remains that date back to the 18th century. The local government worried about the condition of this place, so after extensive historic research most of the facility was restored. Some of the pieces had to be preserved. In 2023, the renewed Harpe Towers became the real beauty of the mountainous Ingushetia.
