Egi-Chozh[a] is a ingush medieval castle complex.

Part of the complex

History

The Egi-Chozh complex is located in the narrowest section of the gorge of Fortanga on the ridges of rocky branches of mountain ranges on both sides of the river. The choosing of the site was not accidental as it made the complex able to completely block the passage through the gorge.[1]

Four towers are located on the right bank of Fortanga and two are located on the left. The complex is also located near Dattykh, Ingushetia, Russia.[2]

In 1978, Egi-Chozh was studied by Dautova Rezeda. Previously it wasn't properly studied.[1]
