Original – An example of Vainakh tower architecture. This complex is a medieval military fortification in the Erzi Nature Reserve region of Ingushetia in Northern Caucasus.
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.
