The capital city of Ingushetia republic.
Magas (“City of Sun” from the Ingush) is the capital of Ingushetia Republic which is a part of Russia. By 2009 it is the smallest town in Russia.
Magas city population - 415 (2009).
The phone code is +7-87345; the postal code - 386000.
Magas was founded in 1995 and it became the capital of Ingushetia at the end of 2002 instead of the former capital city Nazran. Magas occupies the place where before there was an ancient town with the same name. It is for the first time since Peter the Great that a town is constructed as the capital - the town of Magas as Ingushetia Republic capital. It was Peter the Great who constructed a new capital of Russia - the city of Saint-Petersburg in 18th century.
Magas is located 4 km far from Nazran, 6-8 meters above the river Sunzha and 520-650 meters above sea-level. From here a picturesque silhouette of Nazran can bee well seen. About 8 km from Magas there is the train station and 30 km - the airport Magas, which is near the federal highway “Caucasus”.
The center of Magas is formed mainly by the government buildings which are the symbol of Republic of Ingushetia. To the east of government buildings there is the main street of the town where various administrative, business and trade centers are located.
The government of Ingushetia Republic welcomes cooperation and carrying out the ideas of the town of Magas construction - the capital of the youngest republic in the Russian Federation.
