Information

Archut village mosque was built in 1041. It is one of the oldest mosques in the Karakilsa region. However, in the village of Archut, where Azerbaijanis live, there were Turkish-Oghuz historical monu­men­ts, cultural remains and cemeteries from the VII, XII, XIV centuries. Stone inscrip­tions found in the cemetery prove that Azerbaijanis lived here. The words "Mu­hammad - 831" (in the old Oghuz alpha­bet) written on the tombstone in the old cemetery of the village can be considered as a visual example. The territory of the village was rich in ancient historical mo­numents .
