Nazran Fortress (in Russian: Крепость Назрань) is a fortress of the Russian imperial army in the city of Nazran (Ingushetia). It is a unique monument of Russian fortification architecture of the early 19th century. The area where the fortress is located — a hill between the Sunzha and Nazranka rivers — was strategically important and therefore, in different periods of history, there were fortifications, posts and fortresses there.
The fortress is one of the most important historical and cultural sites of Ingushetia and one of the main attractions in its territory. Various events are associated with the fortress, both in the history of the Ingush people and throughout the Caucasus region.
