Tugo architectural complex No. 2 is located in the village of Tuga (Lower Tuga) Itum-Kali district, 33 km south-west of the district center of Itum-Kali, in the lower part of the eastern slope of the Maistin ridge, on the left bank of the river Maystoyn-Akhk. Dated XIV-XVI centuries.

The architectural complex is a medieval fortification consisting of two combat and seven residential towers. All towers have lost roofs and ceilings. Residential towers are in emergency condition. At the battle tower No. 1 the entrance opening of the 1st floor was destroyed. Also, to the east of the complex are four ground crypts in good condition. Two of them were apparently originally built as sanctuaries-mausoleums, later converted into crypts.

Tugoi architectural complex No. 2 is a sample of the Chechen medieval tower settlement. The complex is of interest not only for researchers of the history of architecture, but also for studying the fortification art of the Chechens.

Tugo architectural complex No. 2 is an object of cultural heritage and is located on the territory of the Argun Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve. Protected by the state.
