The ruins of Har Balgas (Black City) stands on the east bank of the Orkhon river, 50 km to the north of Karakorum. Har Balgas was the capital city of the ancient State of Uigur, a tribe that dominated Mongolia during the 9th century AD. The Uigur State gained power over other competing clans after the collapse of the Turkic state, and built its capital city-Har Balgas in 751 AD. A large brick wall fortress with two gates: one in north and the other in south, and a water canal surrounded the city that covered 5 hectares.
