Architec­ture

The ruins of the fortress destro­yed by the Ar­me­nians re­main.

There is an ancient temple in the village. The temple belonging to the Albanian era was demolished by the Armenians and turned into a collective farm ware­house. Since it does not belong to them, they turned the temple into a warehouse. This shows that Armenians did not con­sider Albanian temples as theirs during the Soviet period.

Ashagi Kilsa vil­­lage, where the temple is located, was a Turkish-Oghuz homeland. The temple and the surrounding mo­numents confirm that the area is the his­torical home­land of Azer­baijan.
