Dargavs

Dargavs (Ossetian: Дæргъæвс, Dærğæws) is a settlement in Prigorodny District of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia, located on the Gizeldon River.

There is a late medieval necropolis outside the village of Dargavs called the "City of the Dead" (Город мёртвых).

Archaeological excavation has shown that people of the neighboring villages often buried their family in small wooden "boats".

Ossetians would throw a coin for a dead family member from the hill and if it hit a stone, it was believed that this indicated the soul of the deceased had reached heaven.
