Pkhmat

Pkhmat (Ingush: Пхьмат, Pꜧmat) — is a rural locality (aul) in Dzheyrakhsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia.

The settlement was fortified by a defensive wall, forming a castle complex that was typical of the late Middle Ages.

However, the complex was destroyed in 1944 during the period of the Ingush exile under the leadership of Joseph Stalin.
