On the east of the village, over the Ganja River, is a historic stone bridge thought to date from the later 13th century. A list of Azerbaijan's ancient monuments also states that the village has a bronze age burial mound (kurgan)[2] In a pastoral valley accessible only on foot, are the reasonably intact walls of a ruined 15th-century church, described in Azerbaijani texts as an Albanian Temple (Albanian refers here to Caucasian Albania)[3][4] or sometimes as Dəstəfur bazilikası[5] A 2017 TV programme filmed a visit to the church ruins.[6]
