Information

Sarı Baba lodge was settled on the land called "Qarovultəpə" on the hillside near Qaraxaç, on the border of Amasiya and Kalinino district. Sarı Baba quarry was one of the ancient quarries. It was first a monument from the middle centuries. The place where Sarı Baba's grave was located was visited by local and neighboring people as a sacred hearth. The visitor site is a small stone of 3-4 metres. Its surroundings were damaged. It was considered a sheltered place to visit. People gave vows, prayed, and sacrificed.

Like the religious and erudite hearths of Azerbaijan and the Muslim-Turkish world, Sari Baba's site is also an example of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage in the historical lands. The pillars that people make for their hopes and desires represent the sacred faith of the people.
