Kirda (Kirda, Kiirda-biavnash) is a tower complex in Itum-Kali district of the Chechen Republic, located at the very beginning of the Terloy gorge on the left bank of the Chanty-Argun River at the confluence of the Bara River at an altitude of 1050 m above sea level. Erected in the fourteenth century. It consists of three battle towers and a crypt burial ground. It is known that the towers had a height of at least four floors. One tower had a pointed entrance opening leading to the lower floor. It is believed that the first floor was used as a sanctuary. However, the complex was destroyed in 1990-2000, as a result of which only one tower remains.

The Kirda Tower complex is an object of cultural heritage and is located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve.
