Village of Tsmiti

The ancient Village of Tsmiti is located on the western bank of the Fiagdon River in the Kurtatinsky gorge. This gorge became one of the main places of residence of the ancient Alan people, who, due to the invasion of the Mongol-Tatar troops in 1221, were forced to move to the mountain gorges. The Alans are the ancestors of the Ossetian people.
