Magas
Russia
Founded in 1995 and elevated to capital status in 2002, Magas is the smallest capital of any federal subject in Russia — a distinction that makes this modest town in Ingushetia worth a look for those travelling through the North Caucasus. The Caucasus mountains are visible from the town, and the surrounding landscape sits close to water.
