Alanian necropolis outside the village of Dargavs, called "City of the dead". It comprises 99 different tombs and crypts. This is a necropolis of the XIV-XVIII centuries, grandiose in its scale and significance. By the way the tomb is arranged, you can understand how rich this or that clan was, to which it belongs. According to one of the versions, at the turn of the 17th-19th centuries, a plague epidemic raged on the land of Ossetia, after which the Ossetians were on the verge of extinction, and some sick, with no one to bury them, would go into their family crypts and await their death.

Dargavs (City of the Dead)

This city is a settlement in Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia, located on the Gizeldon River.

Its basically a necropolis that comprises of 99 different tombs and crypts. Some of them date back to the 12th century. The place is shrouded in myths and legends so locals mostly avoid the place. The road leading up to the location is long and rough so it also doesn’t have a large tourist presence.
