08.01.2024

Sharoy historical and architectural complex is located in the village of Sharoy Sharoy district of the Chechen Republic at an altitude of 1550 - 1600 meters above sea level. The complex includes seven battle towers, twenty-six residential towers and a mosque. The oldest of the buildings belong to the XIII century. On the walls of the towers preserved a large number of petroglyphs.

Combat and residential towers in the Sharoy Tower Complex are located close to each other, forming an impregnable castle. In ancient times it was the residence of the ruler and the seat of the elders.

Sharoy was a real medieval fortress, which was located at the crossroads of the most important roads and occupied an elevated strategic position. Residents of Sharoy had the opportunity to control the road from Transcaucasia (Kakheti, Georgia) and from Dagestan to the Argun gorge.

Most of the towers of the complex were destroyed during the Caucasian War, some during the deportation of Chechens in 1944.

Work on the restoration of objects in the Sharoi complex was started in 2010, then several towers were restored. At the beginning of 2019, on behalf of the Head of the Chechen Republic R.A. Kadyrov, large-scale work has already begun aimed at preserving all objects of the Sharoy historical and architectural complex.

The Sharoy Tower Complex is part of the Argun State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is protected by the state.
