Here you can visit the ruins of the Gunib fortress, the Tsar meadow where Alexander the 2nd held negotiations with the leader of highlander tribes Shamil and many other interesting locations.
Gunib was historically important as a natural fortress during the Caucasian War of the 19th century. Imam Shamil, leader of the Chechen and Daghestani tribes, made his last stand against the Russians at Gunib, where he gave himself up to the Russian commander, Prince Alexander Baryatinsky, on August 25, 1859.
